Inspector's notes
Observed a container of raw chicken wings stored above a container of cooked pork in the walk-in cooler. It was observed that raw chicken fluids had dripped from the container above into the open container of cooked pork below it. The cooked pork was embargoed at time of inspection (see embargo form). The raw chicken was relocated to the bottom shelf with other poultry and stored according to final cooking temperatures. All raw animal proteins must be stored below ready-to-eat (RTE) foods and stored according to cooking temperature at all times to prevent cross contamination. PIC properly stored all raw animal proteins according to the final cooking temperature based on the cooking parameters in § 3-401.11 of the Food Code. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.

This address holds 3 food permits
Maricopa County issues a separate permit for each kitchen rather than for each restaurant name, so large properties hold several. Each is inspected and scored on its own. The county does not publish which kitchen serves which venue.
