Official wording
No rodents, insects, birds, or animals
Inspector’s notes
Observed one live nymph cockroach in a sticky trap on the floor under the kitchen handsink. No other evidence of vermin was observed. [CA] Keep facility clear of vermin. [SA] The sticky trap was removed from the facility.

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.

Consumer self service does prevent contamination
Inspector’s notes
In the customer self-service area: observed apples were stored without a sneeze guard/etc.. There was no sign stating the apples needed to be washed before consumption. [CA] Protect fruits with edible peels from contamination (via sneeze guards/tongs, wrapping fruits, etc).

Official wording
Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
In the customer self-service area, inside the glass door countertop refrigerator: measured internal temperature of milk to be 53F. Operator stated the milk inside the refrigerator had been held since 8am today, and yogurt had been held since 7am today (both less than 3.5 hours prior). Ambient temperature of unit measured 53F with an IR thermometer. [CA] Keep potentially hazardous foods at 41F/45F and below. [SA] Foods were moved to a different refrigerator.
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.

Inspector’s notes
The quaternary ammonia test strips were expired. [CA] Obtain non-expired sanitizer test strips.
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.
