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

Measured a tray of cooked chicken holding between 126F - 129F on top of stove burner. Observed stove burner off, per operator, PHFs was made less than 2 hours. [CA] Maintain all hot PHFs held at or above 135F. [COS] Operator directed to reheat PHFs to 165F.

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.
