Inspector's notes

Observed PIC leave the mobile food unit to reset the breaker on the generator, return to MF unit, and touch pizzas that were being prepped to place in oven without washing hands.

Employee properly washed hands at handwash sink at time of inspection. Proper handwashing procedure is to rinse hands with warm water, scrub with soap for 10-15 seconds, rinse with warm water, dry with approved drying provision, and turn off in a manner to prevent re-contamination of hands. Entire process should take approximately 20 seconds for full and proper handwashing to prevent spread of pathogens and contamination. Corrected at time of inspection.
