PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED MILK HELD AT AN INADEQUATE TEMPERATURE OF 46 F. INSTRUCTED MANAGER TO ENSURE THAT ALL COLD TCS PRODUCTS ARE HELD AT 41 F AND BELOW. MANAGER DISCARDED 1 AND A HALF GALLON OF MILK ($5). PRIORITY VIOLATION 7-38-005 CITATION ISSUED.

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.

INSECTS, RODENTS, & ANIMALS NOT PRESENT

Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED INSECT CARCASSES IN KITCHEN BEHIND COOLERS. INSTRUCTED MANAGER TO REMOVE INSECT CARCASSES.

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.
