The mobile food unit received six violations during a routine inspection.

Inspectors cited a blocked hand sink, improper storage of raw shell eggs above ready-to-eat foods, expired and improperly date-marked prepared foods, utensils stored where they could be contaminated by handwashing splash, and the lack of sanitizer test strips.
