minorCode K44Pests

Official wording

Premises clean, in good repair; Personal/chemical storage; Adequate vermin-proofing

Inspector’s notes

In the back receiving area, observed gap between the lift gate and the ground. [CA] Seal all gaps greater than 1/4" to prevent the entrance and harborage of vermin.

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.

minorCode K32Food source and labeling

Official wording

Food properly labeled and honestly presented

Inspector’s notes

Observed several meat products are missing labeling information and "sell-by" dates. [CA] Food shall be properly labeled and honestly presented in a way that does not mislead or misinform the consumer. [COS] PIC pulled meat products off the display shelves to be discarded.

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.

[CA] Handwash sinks shall be fully stocked and accessible at all times. [COS] PIC refilled the paper towel dispenser and cleared the hand sink at the time of inspection.

In plain English

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

Inspector’s notes

In plain English

Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.
