The April 2023 inspection identified a high-priority violation for engine oil stored above soda drinks in the retail area, creating contamination risk — the soda was relocated during the inspection. A second high-priority violation documented a food employee in the deli department who removed gloves, left the work station, and returned without washing hands or changing gloves before resuming food service; the employee was instructed on proper hand washing and complied on site. Intermediate violations included ready-to-eat cooked foods in the kitchen area lacking date labels (all products were dated and labeled during the inspection), absence of written procedures for vomiting and diarrheal event cleanup and disinfection, and an unlabeled chemical spray bottle in the ware washing area (labeled during the inspection). All violations documented corrected-on-site except the written procedures violation. The October 2024 focused inspection found no violations.
