Observation: Unlabeled food containers of sugar, salt, and sugar water.
Correction: Label working containers with the common name of its contents. Consumers may be allergic to certain foods or ingredients. The mistaken use of an ingredient when the consumer has requested that it not be used may result in severe medical consequences. Liquid foods and granular foods may resemble cleaning compounds. The mistaken use of food from an unlabeled container could result in chemical poisoning.
- Utensils - In-Use - Between-Use Storage (corrected on site)
Observation: Dispensing utensils improperly stored between uses (observed rice spoon in room temperature water)..
Correction: Store in-use utensils or dispensing utensils in one of the following manners: 1) In the food with their handles above the top of the food and the container. 2) In food that is not potentially hazardous with their handles above the top of the food within containers or equipment that can be closed. 3) On a clean portion of the food preparation table or cooking equipment only if the in-use utensil and the food-contact surface of the food preparation table or cooking equipment are cleaned and sanitized every 4 hours. 4) In running water of sufficient velocity to flush particulates to the drain. 5) In a clean, protected location if the utensils are used only with a food that is not potentially hazardous. 6) In a container of water if the water is maintained at a temperature of at least 135°F.

Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
- Cooling Methods (corrected on site)
Observation: Food containers for cooling food are arranged so as not allow for maximum heat transfer (observed cooling containers of noodles and dumplings stacked on top of each other in a packed reach-in cooler).
Correction: Arrange the food containers in the refrigeration equipment to provide maximum heat transfer through the container walls. Loosely cover or uncover the food if protected from overhead contamination during the cooling period to facilitate heat transfer from the surface of the food.
- Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
Observation: Dumplings brought back from a catering job were cold holding at improper temperatures upon return. Voluntarily discarded.
Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

Observation: Observed food thermometer is not calibrated to ensure accuracy. Demonstrated how to calibrate thermometer.
Correction: Calibrate food thermometer according to manufacturer's specification as necessary to ensure accuracy
- Critical: Equipment and Utensils - Before Use After Cleaning* (corrected on site) (repeated violation)
Observation: The food-contact surfaces of the following equipment were not observed sanitized: all of the cleaned equipment. There was no sanitizer available in the kitchen. Operator will go out and get some this evening before closing.
Correction: After cleaning and rinsing of the food-contact surface, the surface shall be effectively sanitized before coming in contact with food and before use.
- Handwashing - Using a Handwashing Lavatory - No Other Purpose (corrected on site)
Observation: The handwash station at the front is being used as a dump station.
Correction: The handwash facility identified above is to be used for washing hands only
- Light Bulbs Protective Shielding
Observation: Light bulbs in the dry storage are not shielded, coated, or otherwise shatter-resistant.
Correction: Shield or replace light bulb with a coated or shatter-resistant bulb.
