Faulkner County inspections flag milk, fish and test strips

What inspectors found

Faulkner County restaurant inspections identified several food-handling and sanitation concerns. Eighteen whole gallons of milk were thrown out during the inspection process.

The inspections also found fish thawing in a handwashing sink. The finding involved the location used to thaw the fish, which was also designated for handwashing.

Sanitizing test strips

An employee was unaware of the purpose of sanitizing test strips. The strips are used in connection with sanitation checks, but the inspection account does not identify the employee or the restaurant involved.

The finding points to a separate issue from the discarded milk and thawing fish: an employee did not understand why the test strips were used. The three conditions involved food storage, food handling and sanitation testing.

What the findings show

The inspection findings involved both food products and workplace practices. The milk was discarded, while the fish-thawing practice and the employee’s lack of understanding about the test strips were documented as inspection concerns.
