Two violations were corrected on site during the inspection—the employee was stopped and performed proper handwashing at the sink. The establishment also lacked written procedures for cleaning up vomit and diarrhea, and multiple packaged food items in the retail area were labeled "Not Labeled for individual sale" and were removed from sale. A follow-up focused inspection on April 14, 2025 confirmed that the establishment had installed the required mop sink and found zero violations, indicating compliance with prior citations.
