History: Since 2008, the shop has had a mixed inspection history, with a number of good and excellent inspection ratings, but also four previous failed inspections and several needs improvements.
What the inspector saw: The inspector separately inspected the meat shop and market and found nine priority violations between them. They included improper hand washing practices, “numerous food contact utensils encrusted with food debris,” food kept past discard dates, improper food storage and a cooler not keeping foods below established temperatures. Roaches were also seen near the hand sink.
Follow-up: The market failed a Dec. 19 follow-up, but passed on Dec. 29.
Response: A message seeking comment was not returned by deadline.
