Employee food was stored in several areas, directly atop in-house prepared RTE/TCS food products such as cut cabbage, RTE sauces, and popcorn chicken. Per PIC, the owner keeps food waste to turn into fertilizer for her home garden. PIC moved all employee food to a bottom shelf in the walk-in at time of inspection.
