One staff member working at time of inspection did NOT have a valid FoodSafe certificate or equivalent course. There must be one person working, at all times, that possesses a valid FoodSafe certificate or equivalent course so they have the knowledge to safely process food.
Corrective Action(s):
Immediately have staff enroll into a FoodSafe course or equivalent course and successfully complete the course. Manager/owners shall schedule staff appropriately, so there is always one staff working that possesses a valid certificate.
