Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED DEAD INSECTS ON GLUE BOARDS AND FLOORS IN THE REAR STORAGE AREA AND BASEMENT. INSTRUCTED TO REMOVE AS A MEANS OF PREVENTING POSSIBLE FEEDING ACTIVITY.

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.
