The facility is allowing cooked white rice to dry for a day at room temperature before frying the rice., , The rice must be dried in either the cooler, in an oven, or a dehydrator to reduce the risk of pathogen growth. , , Bacillus cereus is a concern with the improper temperature control of rice. Normal cooking of rice will kill the vegetative form of B. cereus but the spores can survive the heat and can germinate if left at room temperature. Additionally, B. cereus is a toxin producer which is heat stable. , , Since foods containing the emetic toxin need to be heated to 249°F (121°C) for more than 80 minutes, reheating foods until they are steaming is not enough to inactivate the emetic toxin and efforts should be devoted to prevention (Rajkovic 2014).

Cracked tiles were observed in the kitchen. , , Please repair/replace the tiles such that the flooring in the kitchen is smooth, impervious to moisture, and cleanable.
