Code	Description / Observation / Corrective Action
110	Food Not Protected - General Observation: Food is being stored in buckets on the floor in the walk-in cooler. Corrective Action: Additional shelves should be added to allow for food to be stored off of the floor - this will facilitate cleaning and prevent contamination of food products.
