Critical There was no person in charge present in the food facility during inspection. Observed need for a trained person present at all times the establishment is open. Focus on temperature controls, correct sanitizer dilution verifications.
To minimize the risk of contamination, the license holder shall be the person responsible for the FSO or RFE, or may be the person in charge, or shall designate a person in charge and shall ensure that a person in charge with applicable knowledge is present during all hours of operation.
