Cross contamination of foods must be prevented by proper storage practices. Raw shell eggs were stored next to bean sprouts in the walk-in cooler. Potentially hazardous foods must be maintained at proper temperatures. This includes hot foods at 135° Fahrenheit or above and cold foods at 41° Fahrenheit or below. Tofu in the buffet line was measured at 57° Fahrenheit and sausage in the buffet line was measured at 50° Fahrenheit. The under counter reach-in cooler across from the wok is not functioning properly. The air temperature and food temperatures inside the bottom storage area were measured 41° Fahrenheit or below, however, the top compartment had an ambient air temperature of 48° Fahrenheit. Tofu and miso stored in it measured at 51° Fahrenheit. Until such time as the unit can maintain proper temperatures of 41° Fahrenheit or below, it must be placed out-of-service. The hose bib in the BBQ area is not adequately protected against back siphonage. A hose bib check valve must be installed on this fixture. Working containers used to store toxic or poisonous materials such as cleaners and sanitizers must be clearly labeled with the common name of their contents. Spray bottles of cleaning agents stored in the storage room were not labeled. Contamination of foods, clean utensils, single service items, single use items and clean linens must be prevented by proper storage of toxic items. Toxic items were stored next to plates in the sushi area.
