PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED IMPROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES OF TCS FOODS INSIDE OF THE 2-DOOR PREP COOLER. OBSERVED CHEESE AT 46F, COOKED CORN AT 48F, COOKED RICE AT 81F, BLACK BEANS AT 46F, AND HEAVY CREAM AY 48F. MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTED TO MAINTAIN ALL COLD TCS FOODS BELOW 41F. 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.

PHYSICAL FACILITIES INSTALLED, MAINTAINED & CLEAN
Inspector’s notes
CLEAN THE CEILING TILES AND LIGHT SHIELDS IN THE FOOD PREP AREA WITH GREASE, DUST AND FOOD DEBRIS.
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.

ADEQUATE VENTILATION & LIGHTING; DESIGNATED AREAS USED
Inspector’s notes
REPLACE THE MISSING LIGHT SHIELD ABOVE THE FOOD PREP AREA.
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.
