If any of these food products are going to be stored at room temperature, time might be used as a public health control with implementing a proper time/temperature control mechanism. The person in charge said the boba beans. The person in charge time coded the food products to be used within the next two hours (SA).
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.
Multiple dead cockroaches were observed on the floor back in the storage area.
[CA] Conduct a thorough cleaning of the floor areas immediately.
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.
