Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED APPROX. 30 MOUSE DROPPINGS ON THE FLOOR AND STORAGE SHELVES IN THE STORAGE ROOM, AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE CORNER BETWEEN THE WALL AND ICE FREEZER, AND IN THE WALK-IN COOLER USED FOR EQUIPMENT STORAGE. MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN AND REMOVE ALL RODENT DROPPINGS FROM ALL AFFECTED AREAS. ADDITIONAL PEST CONTROL SERVICE IS RECOMMENDED TO ELIMINATE THE PEST ACTIVITY. PRIORITY FOUNDATION VIOLATION 7-38-020(A). CITATION ISSUED.
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.
CLEAN THE BOTTOM SHELF OF THE MILK COOLER, POPCORN COOKING EQUIPMENT IN THE SHARED KITCHEN REAR PREP AREA AND 3-COMPARTMENT SINK. CLEAN THE DRY STORAGE CONTAINERS IN THE FRONT PREP AREA OF THE SHARED KITCHEN AREA.
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.

OBSERVED INADEQUATE LIGHTING IN THE FRONT PREP AREA OF THE SHARED KITCHEN SPACE. MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE LIGHTING IN ALL AREAS WHERE FOOD IS PREPARED.
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.
OBSERVED A FOOD HANDLING EMPLOYEE WITHOUT A FOOD HANDLER CERTIFICATE. MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTED THAT ALL FOOD HANDLING EMPLOYEES MUST SHOW PROOF OF FOOD HANDLER TRAINING.
In plain English
A required permit, food safety certificate, trained manager, or posted sign was missing or not current. These show the business is following the rules and has trained staff.
