minorCode K23Pests

Official wording

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals

Inspector’s notes

One dead cockroach observed near office corner. No other vermin evidence observed after thorough inspection. No recent pest control report provided. [CA]: The premises of each food facility must be maintained free of vermin. Ensure food and food contact surfaces are protected from possible contamination at all times. Continue to follow pest control service recommendations and monitor for vermin activity. Seal all cracks, crevices, and gaps under any exterior doors to prevent entry and harborage of vermin. [COS]: Dead cockroach was discarded.

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.
