General Comment:

This food preparation area shall contain a countertop that is kept clean and in good repair, a handwash lavatory, and refrigeration when items are stored that require refrigeration- Observed infant B with only one hand washing sink and a dorm refrigerator on the counter. The only sink is used for food prep and diaper purposes simultaneously when needed.
