criticalCode 9Food temperature
Official wording
Proper cooling methods / Not allowed in Limited Food Preparation MFF
In plain English
Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.

Official wording
Premises, personal / cleaning items, vermin-proofing; Garbage and refuse - properly disposed; Facilities maintained - clean surroundings
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.
