A repeated citation can merit attention, but context and corrective action must be reviewed before drawing a conclusion.

   Kitchen and Food Safety, Cited in Two Inspections

   Inspectors cited F812 in January 2023 and January 2026. This citation covers how food is stored, prepared and served. None rose above level F (no actual harm, potential for more). Each citation has a recorded correction, and a repeat after correction is worth a direct question.
