In plain English
Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
3-501.16(A:2.&B) OBSERVED COLD HOLDING TCS FOODS AT INADEQUATE COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES LOCATED IN A 2 DOOR PREP COOLER IN THE FOOD PREP AREA; ABOUT 10 LBS OF RAW BEEF AT 57F, ABOUT 3 LBS OF RAW PORK AT 53F, ABOUT 2 LBS OF RAW EGGS AT 52F, ABOUT 1/2 LB OF DICED TOMATOES AT 52F AND ABOUT 1/2 LB OF GUACAMOLE AT 55.5F.

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.
PROPER COOLING METHODS USED; ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL

4-301.11 OBSERVED A 2-DOOR PREP COOLER WITH TCS FOODS INSIDE AT AN INADEQUATE COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURE OF 55F DURING THE INSPECTION.

INSTRUCTED TO ELIMINATE PEST ACTIVITY, CLEAN AND SANITIZE AFFECTED AREAS, AND RECOMMENDED CONTACTING PEST CONTROL FOR A SERVICE. PRIORITY FOUNDATION. CITATION ISSUED 7-38-020(A).
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.

In plain English
Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.
