Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
In the prep unit near the upright freezer: measured internal temperature of multiple PHFs (tofu, enoki mushrooms) to be 53F - 63F. Employee stated foods had been removed from the upright refrigerators 30 minutes prior. Note: foods in the upright refrigerator measured 41F and below. [CA] Keep potentially hazardous foods at 41F and below. [COS] Foods were immediately moved to a functioning 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.

Adequate handwash facilities supplied, accessible
Inspector’s notes
In the cooking area: observed large trash bin was partially obstructing the handsink. [CA] Do not obstruct handsinks. Handsinks must be made accessible so that handwashing is not only possible, but likely.
In plain English
Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

Consumer self service does prevent contamination
Inspector’s notes
Observed multiple uncovered containers of food at the buffet line and the condiment self-service table. [CA] Protect food from contamination via lids, sneeze guards, etc.
In plain English
Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.
