notedCode 33Food temperature
Official wording
PROPER COOLING METHODS USED; ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED TCS FOOD (CHICKEN POT PIE FILLING) STORED IN THE CENTRAL WALK-IN COOLER COVERED BY FOOD-GRADE PLASTIC WRAP WHILE COOLING. INSTRUCTED TO STORE TCS FOOD ITEMS LOOSELY-COVERED OR UNCOVERED (IF PROTECTED FROM OVERHEAD CONTAMIANTION) WHILE COOLING AND MAINTAIN.
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.
OBSERVED AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE THERMOMETER NOT PROVIDED AT THE UPRIGHT HOT-HOLDING UNIT (NEAR HANDWASHING SINK AND DEEP FRYERS). INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE AT LEAST ONE AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE THERMOMETER IN ALL EQUIPMENT USED TO COLD- AND HOT-HOLD TCS FOOD ITEMS AND MAINTAIN AT ALL TIMES.
In plain English
Equipment, utensils, thermometers, cutting boards, or single-use items were not in good condition, not the right type, or not stored properly.
OBSERVED FLOOR-MOUNTED DRAIN BENEATH DRINK STATION AT THE DRIVE THRU AREA TO BE HEAVILY WRAPPED WITH DUCT TAPE AND OTHER MATERIALS AND NO LONGER EASILY-CLEANABLE. INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE DUCT TAPE AND OTHER MATERIALS OR REPLACE FLOOR-MOUNTED DRAIN BENEATH DRINK STATION AND MAINTAIN ALL PLUMBING FIXTURES EASILY-CLEANABLE.
In plain English
The business had issues with hot or cold running water, plumbing, drains, backflow prevention, or sewage disposal. Some of these, like no hot water, can force a temporary closure until fixed.
ADEQUATE VENTILATION & LIGHTING; DESIGNATED AREAS USED
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED CEILING-MOUNTED MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM IN POOR REPAIR/NON-FUNCTIONAL. INSTRUCTED TO REPAIR OR REPLACE MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN THE WOMEN'S RESTROOM AND MAINTAIN FUNCTIONAL MECHANICAL VENTILATION IN TOILET ROOMS TO REMOVE OBNOXIOUS FUMES OR ODORS.
In plain English
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.
