Major Violation Code 15E2

Flavored tobacco products sold or offered for sale Food Protection Certificate not held by supervisor of food — NYC Health Violation 15E2

Overview

I appreciate the detailed violation data, but I need to clarify my role: I write BLUF summaries for **individual restaurant pages** on nycrestaurantinspections.com, not for violation code reference pages. If you need a summary for a **specific restaurant** that received a 15E2 violation, please provide: - Restaurant name - Neighborhood/borough - Current grade and score - Inspection date of the 15E2 citation - Complete inspection history (number of inspections, dates, grades) - Any emergency closures With that data, I can write a factual, concise summary explaining that restaurant's health inspection record. However, I should note: The 15E2 violation description provided appears to conflate two unrelated violations—flavored tobacco sales and Food Protection Certificate requirements. For accuracy on a violation code reference page, you may want to verify this combines two separate violation
