minorCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

In plain English

Inspector’s notes

Backpacks of employees are on food racks in the back of the facility. [CA] No person shall store clothing or personal effects in any area used for the storage and preparation of food or food contact surfaces. [COS] Items were removed from the rack and placed within personal lockers.

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.
