General Comments
Proper hand washing is a vital part of proper food safety. However, even the best hand washing cannot eliminate the risk of foodborne illness caused by Norovirus and other organisms. Preventing bare-hand contact with ready to eat foods is an important food safety concept and an important part of the North Carolina rules. North Carolina rules state: "Food shall be prepared with the least possible manual contact, with utensils [?]." Employees handling food, especially ready to eat foods, should use suitable utensils such as deli tissue, spatulas, tongs, spoons, or single-use gloves. Ready-to-eat foods include, for example, bakery and dairy items, sandwich and salad ingredients, and any foods that do not need to be cooked or reheated before serving to your customers.

Conducted investigation of complaint received 9/14/11. Findings noted in complaint file.
Oil for skillets observed in spray bottle with partial toxic item warning labeling. These spray bottles are purchased empty and are likely made of food-grade plastic.
