Pump It Up

Official wording

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals

Inspector’s notes

Observed numerous drain flies in the kitchen area, especially by the 3-compartment sink. [CA] The premises of a food facility shall be kept free of vermin and non-disease carrying insects, gnats, ants, weevils, and fruit 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.
