minorCode K23Pests

Official wording

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals

Inspector’s notes

Flies were observed in the butcher area. [CA] Food facility shall be kept free of non-disease carrying insects, weevils, ants, gnats, and fruit flies. [SA] Do not leave any dirty utensils and keep the area more clean to prevent flies.

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.
