Score 87

LA BARATA NO 2, 1005 N College Ave, Fort Collins, Oct. 1 — An employee put on gloves to scoop ice cream without washing hands, and no hand sink was available in the ice-cream service area; the only sink was in the butcher area where raw meat was handled. Carne seca lacked USDA labels and source paperwork; salsas, spices and tortilla chips were unlabeled, salsa lacked date marks, 48 dented cans were discarded after the person in charge said a shelf collapse damaged them, and rodent droppings were found in the storeroom. Raw meat was 41-47F, ice-cream scoops were stored in 82F water, and the meat slicer had visible debris despite the person in charge saying it was cleaned every two hours and disassembled.

Tasty Harmony, 160 W Oak St, Fort Collins, Oct. 2 — A food employee entered the kitchen from the dining area and stirred food without washing hands; two kitchen hand sinks were inoperable, one leaking and one with low water pressure, and a bar sink lacked a handwashing sign. A dented can was discarded, a bowl was stored on sliced romaine, and the dish machine’s chlorine sanitizer measured below 50 ppm; seitan was 44-46F, chickpeas had passed their seven-day date, dressings lacked date marks, thawed corn was stored in a cooler, and potatoes were cooling on the counter before being moved to the walk-in cooler.

TAQUERIA RANCHO ALEGRE 3, 251 14th St SE, Loveland, Oct. 2 — Pooled eggs in a prep cooler measured 48F and the double pan was removed; beef and barbacoa by the grill had no written time-control procedure or time stamps. The menu combined allergen information with the consumer advisory and lacked needed allergen designations, insulation was exposed near the employee-restroom ceiling, and a blocked, very dim light was observed in the storage closet.
