Scu Benson Hall - The Global

Official wording

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals

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.

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

At the service line, measured cooked potatoes and mushrooms from 98-115F. Per employee, food was relocated from the hot holding box to the service line less than 30 minutes prior to temperature measurement. [CA] Potentially Hazardous Foods shall be kept at 41F or below or 135F or above. [SA] Food will be replaced or discarded at the lunch service (less than 4 hours from initial removal from 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.

Official wording

Food contact surfaces clean, sanitized

Inspector’s notes

Measured the final rinse temperature at the high temperature dishwasher at 150F. [CA] Mechanical sanitization shall be accomplished in the final sanitizing rinse by achieving a utensil surface temperature of 160°F (or manufacturer's instruction).

In plain English

Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.

Official wording

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.
