No live activity observed.
Reviewed recent pest control service report from Orkin.
[CA] Clean and sanitize area of dead cockroaches or old droppings. Continue to monitor and work with pest control.
In plain English

*REPEAT VIOLATION*
Two half-full containers of milk measured 52F while maintained in the sliding glass door cooler at the front service area. Ambient of the unit measured 52F via probe. Per the PIC, one container of milk had been stored in the unit since last night, and the other had been placed into the unit earlier this morning (unsure of time).
[CA] Potentially hazardous foods shall be held at 41F or below, or at 135F or above to prevent the growth of bacteria.
[COS] Milk was voluntarily discarded down an approved wastewater outlet.
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.
Equipment, utensils: Approved, in good repair, adequate capacity
Inspector’s notes
1. Ambient of the sliding glass door cooler at the front service area measured 52F via probe.
[CA] Refrigeration shall be capable of maintaining potentially hazardous foods at 41F or below.

[CA] After heating or hot holding, Potentially Hazardous Foods (PHFs) shall be cooled rapidly from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and from 70°F to 41°F within 4 hours. Approved cooling methods include: 1) Placing the food in shallow pans 2) Separating the food into thinner or smaller portions. 3) Using rapid cooling equipment (Ex. blast chiller) 4) Using containers that facilitate heat transfer (ex. stainless steel) 5) Adding ice as an ingredient. 6) Using ice paddles 7) Using an ice bath and stirring frequently 8) Accordance with a HACCP plan. Cooling foods shall have enough space around the containers for cold air to circulate, be loosely covered, or uncovered and stirred as frequently needed to evenly cool.
[COS] Stinky tofu was voluntarily discarded due to improper cooling.
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.
