Mochinut, a new dessert store in the Northwest Renault, was forced to close its doors on Friday after an unsuccessful health inspection, which revealed many critical violations, according to the Washoe Health District.
The check, held on February 20, revealed several anxious questions. Inspectors report that staff members do not wash their hands or change gloves after touching personal belongings or themselves. In addition, a manual sink in the food preparation area was hindered by a lid and there were no paper towels, while another sink near the box office was blocked by boxes that were assembled for food.
“Hand sinks must be supplied with paper towels so that operators can wash and dry their hands before returning to work,” the health area said.
The check also found that refrigeration units did not have a proper marking of dates, a decisive measure to prevent diseases carried with food. The control of time/temperature for safety (TCS) foods must be marked and not refrigerated for more than seven days.
As a result of these violations, the health area has necessitated the operator to take a class and develop a staff training policy. Additional critical violations include improper washing and rinsing of utensils and inadequate hand washing practices. The owner is obliged to attend further training and to apply staff training.
Non -critical violations were also noted, such as lack of demonstration of knowledge or active management control. Inspectors monitor a table with grinding machines and mixers that have peeled a plastic coating and holes, a dirty piece of cardboard saturated with oil near the hotdog fryer and a sink with a significant amount of food debris, which is a risk of cross -contamination.
In a Facebook post after the unsuccessful verification, Mochinut said they would be closed until further notification while renovating their kitchen. There was no recognition of the unsuccessful inspection.
The business will have to work with the health area to complete the mandatory trainings and to undergo another health inspection before it can reoperate.
