minorCode 29Chemicals

Official wording

Toxic substances - properly identified, stored, used

Cleaning products, pesticides, or other chemicals were stored or labeled in a way that could let them get into food. This is serious because chemical contamination can make people sick quickly.

minorCode 33Cleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

Nonfood contact surfaces clean

In plain English

Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.

minorCode 44Pests

Official wording

Premises, personal / cleaning items, vermin-proofing

In plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.
