minorCode K32Food source and labeling

Official wording

Food properly labeled and honestly presented

Inspector’s notes

Labels on food items for sale have the facility that they are made in, the address, name and phone number only. [CA] Food prepackaged in a food facility shall bear a label with the following: 1) common name of the food, 2) list of ingredients in descending order of predominance by weight, 3) quantity of contents, 4) name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor.

In plain English

Food came from an unapproved source, was missing required date marks or labels, or was past its use-by date. Knowing where food came from and how old it is helps prevent illness.

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.

minorCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Several items in under counter unit measured in the temperature danger zone. Ambient air of the unit measured 46F. Per PIC, items were made fresh this morning (less than 4 hours) and placed in unit. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above.

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.
