Observations & Corrective Actions

10: 2310 Observed soda and ice in the handwashing sink located in the server station area

Observed raw chicken on a shelf above ready-to-eat chicken nuggets and fries in the prep unit cooler. Observed raw ground beef on a shelf above raw fish, salmon, and shrimp.
