minorCode K23Pests

Official wording

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals

Inspector’s notes

Observed several gnats and house flies throughout the food preparation area. [CA] The food facility shall be kept free of vermin and non-disease carrying insects.

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.

criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

In the countertop warmer, measured mac & cheese at 108F. Per staff, mac & cheese was cooked and placed into warmer 2 hours prior to temperature measurement. Per staff, mac & cheese is made and replaced about every 2 hours. [CA] Potentially Hazardous Foods shall be kept at 41F or below or 135F or above. [COS] Employees discarded the mac & cheese and cooked a new batch for hot holding. Measured new batch at 180F in the warmer.

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.
