Observations & Corrective Actions
9: 450 An employee was observed handling ready to eat food items at the sushi prep station without gloves on. The employee was observed cutting cream cheese and rolling sushi rice without gloves.
Corrective Actions: The employee was directed to stop handling food items and to discard items that were touched with thier bare hands.

The owner on site assisted in correcting the issue and will reiterate the requirement to all other employees.
