Town officials during a recent unannounced inspection of an Elm Street restaurant found a “risk factor” health violation.
The Feb. 14 inspection at Solé resulted in a citation under the category of “food protection,” according to a sanitarian’s report.
Specifically, the sanitarian found hummus in oil at a bread station at a prohibitively high 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The hummus was discarded, according to the health report.
Inspectors use a state Department of Public Health standard, citing eateries for violations that range in seriousness and corresponding weight from one to four points. A “failed” inspection is triggered either by one or more four-point or “risk factor” violations, or a total score of less than 80 points.
Other minor violations cited by the inspector included rusted shelving inside a reach-in refrigerator at the bar, and an unclean magnetic knife rack in the upstairs kitchen.
