Expired Chlorine test strips. [CA]: Provide non-expired Chlorine test strips/approved testing method for measuring Chlorine sanitizer level.

Front door propped open. [CA]: Facility shall be fully enclosed to prevent 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.

criticalCode K09Food temperature

Official wording

Proper cooling methods

Inspector’s notes

In the walk in cooler, meat sauces in the 20 L plastic containers sealed with lids measured between 49F - 52F. Per Cook and Manager, food items were cooked last night and cooled down in the walk in cooler. [CA]: Potentially Hazardous Foods shall be cooled from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and then from 70F to 41F within 4 hours (6 hours total). Use shallow metal pans (no more than 2 inches for solid foods and no more than 4 inches for liquids), smaller portions, ice paddles and ice baths to assist with rapid cooling. When placing food in the refrigerator to cool, containers should be loosely covered or uncovered if protected from overhead contamination, to facilitate heat transfer from the surface of the food. [COS]: Food items were voluntarily discarded.

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.

minorCode K39Equipment and utensils

Official wording

Thermometers provided, accurate

Inspector’s notes

Facility does not have a probe thermometer. [CA]: Provide a probe thermometer that is accurate, easily readable, and suitable for measuring the internal temperature of food at all food preparation areas.

Equipment, utensils, thermometers, cutting boards, or single-use items were not in good condition, not the right type, or not stored properly.

MINOR: Near the front service line, caesar sauce measured at 47F and ranch sauce measured at 48F, both stored in insufficient ice bath in which ice and water were not in direct contact with the sauce containers.

[COS]: Penne pasta and spaghetti noodles relocated to refrigerator. Ranch and caesar sauces were re-stored in proper ice bath.
