Fancy Q Japanese Inc., 5615 S. Florida Ave., Suite 115, Lakeland: On April 30, the restaurant had five violations, including two high priority. In one high-priority violation, the inspector noted an employee washing hands without soap. The issue was corrected on-site. The other was for operating with an expired Division of Hotels and Restaurants license, which expired on Feb. 1. The intermediate violation was for an employee washing a container at the handwash sink. Among two basic violations, one was for an accumulation of mold-like substances in the ice machine. The other was for a case of imitation crab sticks stored on the floor in the walk-in freezer.
Remember that in some cases, violations are noted are technical issues not directly linked to hygiene or cleanliness. Remember, too, that broken refrigerators, chipped tiles or fast work may add up to unintended mistakes.
Regardless, if you notice abuses of state standards, report them and DBPR will send inspectors. Call 850-487-1395.
