An inspector observed a cutting board that had been washed and rinsed but not sanitized before use, and a meat grinder in the meat department with old food debris.

All violations were corrected on site during the inspection, including reheating cooked items to 165°F or higher, sanitizing the cutting board, and cleaning the meat grinder.
