FOOD CONTACT SURFACES - CROSS CONTAMINATION
Phones noted on make table and on prep tables. Phones are sources of contamination to both hands and food-contact surfaces. I did not see anyone using their phones while I was inspecting, but their presence in the kitchen leads me to think that it is likely that employees are using them in the kitchen.
Correction: Clean food contact surfaces anytime contamination has occurred and wash hands after touching anything that might contaminate hands (including phones.) Another way to fix this issue is to simply keep phones out of the kitchen.
