Results from a surveillance investigation conducted by our office has confirmed that AJ's is not conducting food operation as they have previously stated. During the March 15, 2018 inspection, the operator explained the steps followed when they receive a phone order. First they tell customers that they will return the call. Then they drive the mobile unit from the residence to park outside city limits. Once parked, they return the phone call to take the orders. They also inform customers of their location and customers pick up their food from the mobile unit. Operator stated they were no longer making any food deliveries. The investigation conducted clearly confirmed that the mobile unit does not leave the residence to prepare food orders and customers don t pick-up orders from the mobile outside city limits. Instead, the mobile unit remains parked at the residence. The food is prepared on site and then delivered to the customers. FOODS FROM UNAPPROVED SOURCES [HSC ] Page 2 of 3
