108 E 8TH AVE , ANCHORAGE AK 99501
This was a pre-opening inspection with only minor administrative issues—missing handwashing signage and a covered receptacle in a restroom—both of which the operator was already addressing. There were no violations involving food temperature, contamination, or pest activity, so there's no indication of real food-safety risk.
A sign or poster that notifies food employees to wash their hands shall be provided at all handwashing sinks used by food employees and shall be clearly visible to food employees. AMC 16.60.170(6-301.14) Effective handwashing is essential for minimizing the likelihood of the hands becoming a vehicle of cross contamination. It is important that handwashing be done only at a properly equipped handwashing facility in order to help ensure that food employees effectively clean their hands. Handwashing sinks are to be conveniently located, always accessible for handwashing, maintained so they provide proper water temperatures and pressure, and equipped with suitable hand cleansers, nail brushes, and disposable towels and waste containers, or hand dryers. It is inappropriate to wash hands in a food preparation sink since this may result in avoidable contamination of the sink and the food prepared therein. **OBSERVED MULTIPLE HANDWASHING SINKS, TWO IN THE KITCHEN AND THE HANDSINKS IN EACH OF THE RESTROOMS THAT DID NOT HAVE SIGNS OR POSTERS TO NOTIFY FOOD EMPLOYEES TO WASH THEIR HANDS NOR WERE THE SINKS LABELED FOR HANDWASHING ONLY.
