- Seafood staff clean all equipment and surfaces. Safeway cleaning crew cleans the walls, floors and ceilings.
- No signs of pests. Monthly contract with a professional pest company in place for monitoring purposes.

- Raw seafood stored separately from cooked seafood in display case.
- No expired foods in use or for sale. FIFO rules being followed.
- Staff present possessed a valid FoodSafe Level 1 certificate. This is good, as the Seafood Dept. requires to always have one staff working that possesses the certificate or an equivalent one, now that we are aware that it steams/cooks lobster tails for the public for immediate consumption.
