**Facility and Operation Details:** The observations pertain to a plant involved in food production, with issues identified in manufacturing and food handling areas.

Floors, walls, and ceilings are not constructed to allow adequate cleaning and repair. Buildings, fixtures, and physical facilities are not maintained in a sanitary condition or in sufficient repair to prevent food adulteration.
*   **Equipment and Utensil Issues:** Equipment, containers, and utensils used for conveying, holding, and storing food are not constructed to protect against contamination. Food-contact surfaces and utensils are not cleaned frequently enough. Non-food-contact equipment in manufacturing and food handling areas is not constructed for easy cleaning.
