Description: Category: Restaurant Unsanitary Conditions - Food (Wa Shin Boston 222 Stuart Street) 1. Falsification of Safety Records & Management Failures pH Log Falsification: Staff habitually falsify pH logs for sushi rice and house-made gari. pH levels are never tested with a meter, yet fabricated numbers are written on official logs. Instruction to Violate Code: The Head Chef explicitly instructs trainees to defrost frozen shrimp at room temperature in airtight containers, creating a critical risk for Clostridium botulinum. Unauthorized Activity: Management allows staff to eat, use mobile phones, and vape inside the kitchen prep areas (Daily). 2. Severe Chemical & Cross-Contamination Hazards Chemical Misuse: Bleach bottles are stored directly in food prep sinks daily (every night between 11 PM – 12 PM the next day). Illegal Shell Reuse: Natural shellfish shells are washed and reused for raw service (during oyster season, Nov–April). A bowl of used shells is usually kept next to or inside the refrigerator. Equipment Misuse: Cutting boards used for raw fish are placed on unsanitized surfaces and used while still wet from washing. (Daily) Meat/Veggie Mixing: Raw meat for staff
