notedCode 37Food source and labeling
Official wording
FOOD PROPERLY LABELED; ORIGINAL CONTAINER
Inspector’s notes
3-302.12: OBSERVED THE DRY FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS WITHOUT LABELS IN THROUGHOUT THE FACILITY. INSTRUCTED TO LABEL ALL FOOD ITEMS WITH COMMON FOOD NAME AND MAINTAIN.
In plain English
Food came from an unapproved source, was missing required date marks or labels, or was past its use-by date. Knowing where food came from and how old it is helps prevent illness.
6-202.15: OBSERVED THE FRONT ENTRANCE DOOR TO THE FACILITY WITH AN OPENING AT THE BOTTOM. INSTRUCTED TO SEAL MENTIONED OPENING AND MAINTAIN.
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
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
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.
