Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

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.

PROPER COOLING METHODS USED; ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED A SMALL TWO-DOOR REFRIGERATOR UNDERNEATH THE COUNTER WITH A FOUNTAIN MACHINE IN THE PREP AREA AT AN IMPROPER AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF 80.4°F. INSTRUCTED ALL COLD HOLDING UNITS MUST BE MAINTAINED AT 41F OR BELOW. CORRECTED ON SITE HELD FOR INSPECTION TAG PLACED ON SMALL TWO DOOR REFRIGERATOR UNDERNEATH COUNTER WITH FOUNTAIN MACHINE IN PREP AREA. PRIORITY VIOLATION
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.

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.

OBSERVED NO COMMERCIAL DUMPSTER WITH COMMERCIAL REFUSE REMOVAL ON PREMISES. INSTRUCTED FACILITY TO PROVIDE A COMMERCIAL DUMPSTER WITH COMMERCIAL REFUSE REMOVAL.

Floors, walls, ceilings, lighting, ventilation, or garbage areas needed repair or cleaning. These are usually less urgent than food-handling problems but still need to be fixed.
