Basic violations are those considered against best practices.
A warning is issued after an inspector documents violations that must be corrected by a certain date or within a specified number of days from receipt of the inspection report.
An administrative complaint is a form of legal action taken by the division. Insufficient compliance after a warning, a pattern of repeat violations or existence of serious conditions that warrant immediate action may result in the division initiating an administrative complaint against the establishment. Says the division website: "Correcting the violations is important, but penalties may still result from violations corrected after the warning time was over."
An emergency order —when a restaurant is closed by the inspector — is based on an immediate threat to the public. Here, the Division of Hotels and Restaurants director has determined that the establishment must stop doing business and any division license is suspended to protect health, safety or welfare of the public.
A 24-hour call-back inspection will be performed after an emergency closure or suspension of license.

How to play surging Broadcom with options ahead of earnings
In a cautionary tale about exceeding one's limits (and ignoring the cautionary warnings of one's father), in Greek mythology, Icarus, son of Daedalus, perished after flying too close to the sun, melting the wax that held the feathers on the wings his father had made him. Of course the authors of the story would not have known that in real life the temperature hazards Icarus would have faced are sub-freezing temperatures, not heat as the air is considerably colder at altitude; minus 40 to minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit at the cruising altitude of a commercial jet let alone the harsh realities of outer space. Regardless, what they understood is that one cannot fly to the sun with man made wings. Broadcom (AVGO) has also been soaring to new heights, reaching a fresh all-time high Tuesday — two days before the company's quarterly earnings release — after announcing that they have started shipping a "breakthrough" new version of the company's data center switch chips which is apparently as powerful as six of its predecessor chips and costs twice as much, $20,000 each. AVGO 5Y mountain Broadcom, 5 years Nvidia tends to get most of the attention when it comes to AI, as their industry leading GPUs do much of the heavy lifting, but the networks must communicate with those chips, and if they don't do so efficiently, the GPUs are under-utilized, typically only 30-40%. Broadcom's technology means to improve this. It's not just the stock price that is rising, or Broadcom's customers' utilization rates. So is Broadcom's forward multiple, 39x forward earnings estimates, just shy of its all-time highs. Sell-side analysts are overwhelmingly positive on Broadcom, with 46 buys, 4 holds and 1 sell (Bloomberg), and why wouldn't they be? Nvidia posted good numbers, Broadcom has technology that helps customers better utilize Nvidia GPUs and Meta's announcement Tuesday that they entered into a 20-year contract with Constellation Energy to buy nuclear power starting in 2027 to run AI proves the runway on big AI capex may be long indeed. The trade Still the stock is up well over 75% since the lows of the first week of April. If you own the stock and want to hedge, consider a put spread collar such as the July 11th 225/250/300 to mitigate some of the downside risk. Buy AVGO July 11 $250 put Sell AVGO July 11 $225 put Sell AVGO July 11 $300 call If you don't own the stock, but are planning to buy it ahead of earnings, a call spread risk reversal will have characteristics similar to that of stock with a put spread collar. One may also consider extending the tenor of the long leg turning the trade into a calendar spread as well, such as this example: Buy AVGO Sept. 19 $260 call Sell AVGO July 18 $220 put Sell AVGO July 18 $310 call DISCLOSURES: (None) All opinions expressed by the CNBC Pro contributors are solely their opinions and do not reflect the opinions of CNBC, NBC UNIVERSAL, their parent company or affiliates, and may have been previously disseminated by them on television, radio, internet or another medium.

The McDonald's Snack Wrap Comeback Is Confirmed, and There's a Whole Website for It
McDonald's officially confirms the permanent return of the Snack Wrap starting July 10, featuring McCrispy Strips, shredded cheese, and lettuce in Spicy and Ranch varieties. A new promotional website, has been launched to celebrate the return with fan content, updates, and exclusive media. The relaunch follows a wave of competition in the chicken snack space, including Popeyes' recent wrap debut and Taco Bell's investment in crispy chicken months, nothing has filled the Snack Wrap-sized void in our foodie hearts. The Golden Arches has some fantastic news for your summer plans — all that yearning might soon be a thing of the past. The long-lost Snack Wrap makes a permanent return to menus on July 10, as the company reveals to Food & Wine. This savory, tortilla-wrapped delight is one of the most notable menu items that customers have loved and lost, and the Google search data backs it up. Here are all the juicy details: The new and improved Snack Wrap features the recently launched McCrispy Strips along with shredded cheese and lettuce. It's available in two flavors, Spicy and Ranch, and customers can order them individually or as part of a two-piece combo meal. 'It's back,' McDonald's USA president Joe Erlinger succinctly confirmed in the company announcement. McDonald's tease last December sparked a flurry of supportive comments on social media. This time around, McDonald's is rolling out the digital red carpet with a website solely dedicated to next month's release and those fan reactions. On the platform McDonald's is exploring every aspect of the viral menu item. McDonald's explains on its website, 'We dropped to highlight the bond fans have with the Snack Wrap. We're delivering engaging, iconic and never-before-seen content — continuously updated leading up to the official return of the Snack Wrap.' Related: Our 50 Best Chicken Recipes This may all be thanks to a little peer pressure from Cajun-style competitor Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen. The comfort food chain unveiled its own version of a tortilla-wrapped snack earlier this week, describing it as the "same legendary Louisiana flavor with a whole new twist.' While Popeyes' version offers a spicier take on the portable meal, the similarities certainly aren't lost on their marketing team. 'Glad we could make that happen,' the official Popeyes account teased on McDonald's Instagram announcement, signing off the comment with a winking emoji. While McDonald's version is a clear fast food classic, it reflects a broader industry trend toward dippable chicken snacks. Earlier this year, Taco Bell reinvested in crispy chicken with its version of Crispy Chicken Nuggets. In the coming years, the Yum! Brands-owned company aims to concentrate its strategy on the wider crispy chicken category. Other brands, like Burger King, have attempted to introduce the Snack Wrap in recent years — but nothing quite compares to the original. If you catch us with an extra pep in our step this afternoon, you know exactly who we have to thank. Read the original article on Food & Wine

Ground beef sold at Whole Foods possibly contaminated with E. coli
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service has issued a public health alert for ground beef products sold at Whole Foods stores in over 25 states that tested positive for E. coli, the agency announced this week. The product is no longer available in stores, so a recall wasn't issued. Instead, a public health alert was issued, the FSIS said. The raw ground beef product was manufactured by Organic Rancher and was made on May 22, 2025, and May 23, 2025, according to FSIS. The health alert includes 1 pound vacuum-packed containers of Organic Rancher Organic Ground Beef, labeled as 85% lean with 15% fat. The label includes expiration dates of June 19, 2025 and June 20, 2025. According to the FSIS, the ground beef was shipped to distributor locations in Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois and Maryland, then sent to Whole Foods Market retail locations nationwide. The company let the FSIS know that the product tested positive for E. coli, leading to the public health alert. While there have been no confirmed reports of illness, the FSIS said it is concerned some customers may still have the products in their freezers. Here's what you need to know. In addition to the Organic Rancher Organic Ground Beef label listing 85% lean with 15% fat, the label also includes expiration dates June 19, 2025 and June 20, 2025. The product has an establishment number "EST. 4027" inside the USDA mark of inspection, the FSIS said. Those who have the products should not eat them, and should throw them out or return them to the store, the FSIS said. According to the FSIS, those who eat meat should make sure the meat has been cooked to a temperature of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. 'The only way to confirm that ground beef is cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures internal temperature,' the FSIS said. The ground beef was sold in Whole Foods stores in 27 states, including: Organic Rancher said on its website that the impacted products are no longer for sale. 'Other States not listed above are not impacted and products with different Use or Freeze By dates are NOT impacted and safe to consume,' the company said. The root cause of the issue has been identified, and immediate corrective actions have been put in place to ensure the ongoing integrity of the Organic Rancher brand.' According to the FSIS, consumers have multiple options if they have questions or concerns. Contact options include: E. coli is a potentially deadly bacterium that can lead to dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps for 2 to 8 days, or 3 to 4 days on average, the FSIS said. Most people recover from E. coli exposure within a week, while others develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome, or HUS. The condition is most common in children who are under 5 years old, as well as older adults. Symptoms include easy bruising, pallor, and decreased urine.
