Both products were voluntarily destroyed under inspector supervision. On the same date, a focused sanitation inspection identified 19 violations, including live insects observed in oats bags and canisters (priority violation corrected on site with voluntary food discard), raw bacon stored directly above ready-to-eat deli meats in the meat cooler (policy reviewed and corrected on site), multiple hot-held items measured below the required 135°F minimum—fried chicken at 116°F, fried chicken breast at 129°F, and fried fish at 129°F (voluntarily discarded and stop-sale order issued)—and chemicals stored on shelves near canned food and single-use packaging (removed during inspection). The person in charge did not correctly answer questions about foodborne disease prevention and symptoms; employee health policy was provided. A follow-up focused inspection on May 20, 2025, found zero violations, confirming that the issues from the January inspection had been addressed.
