Score: 71 percent
Inspected Jan. 23, 2024, County Corner #7 was flagged for a violation for an employee not washing their hands while doing different tasks. Dishes were found to have been washed but not sanitized, and ready-made ham and corned beef hash were not date-marked, according to the report. Bug spray was also stored with food items and equipment, which was corrected, the inspection noted.
The inspection also found mice droppings on metal racks storing canned foods and on the floor, as well as grease and food debris. Grease was particularly a problem as ceiling tiles in the kitchen had changed color due to grease, and there was a buildup of grease and grime under the cook line.
