notedCode —Food temperature

Official wording

Observed precooked mushroom sauce with no datemarking in walk-in cooler. PIC stated that sauce was made 2 days prior. Food items made in house and kept more than 24 hours shall have a datemark. Education provided.

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.

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.
