  The establishment does not have an employee health policy regarding the prevention of foodborne illness. I provided the establishment with a copy of the DC Food Code employee medical referral, reporting agreement, and interview forms. (Corrected On Site)
• Consumer advisory provided for raw or undercooked foods
  Ceviche is available on the menu and there is no consumer advisory notice regarding the health risks associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked animal foods. I provided the establishment with a DC DOH-issued consumer advisory notice. (Corrected On Site)
