Observed black mold like substance on inside panel of ice machine. [CA] Thoroughly clean and sanitize ice machine on a regular basis.

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
Observed potentially hazardous food that measured in the temperature danger zone located in a cambro warmer (just brought from the neighboring kitchen facility); the burrito measured at 103F. [CA] Ensure PHFs are properly cold held at 41F or below OR hot held at 135F or above. [SA] PIC will time mark the food for 4 hours starting from when the food was removed from hot holding and will discard at the 4 hour mark.
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.

No rodents, insects, birds, or animals
Inspector’s notes
Observed approximately 100-200 dead cockroaches of various life stages throughout the kitchen; particularly concentrated in the warewash room. Observed cockroach feces on the walls and ceilings.

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.
