Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Measured half fried chicken at 69F in container next to fryer. Per PIC, the chicken fried less than hour ago. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. [COS] PIC time marked the chicken to use within 4 hours from when it was taken out temperature control.

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.

Inspector’s notes

Observed wet mop store in the mop sink. [CA] After use, mops shall be placed in a position that allows them to air-dry without soiling walls, equipment, or supplies.

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.
