Summary
The facility failed to maintain proper cleanliness and sanitation in the Main Kitchen, as evidenced by observations of food spillage and brown debris buildup on the walls behind the cook's preparation area, the Robocoupe/blender area, and the garbage can next to the steamer. These findings were confirmed during an interview with a Registered Dietitian, who acknowledged that the facility did not uphold the required standards for kitchen cleanliness and sanitation. The facility's own policy requires adherence to all local, state, and federal standards to ensure a safe and sanitary food service department, which was not met in this instance.
