Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED EMPTY COLD HOLD UNIT WITH LOW TEMPERATURE OF 51.7 DEGREES F. INSTRUCTED TO NOT USE EQUIPMENT UNTIL REPAIRED AND HOLDING AT 41 DEGREES AND BELOW.
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.
OBSERVED EVIDENCE OF RODENT ACTIVITY ON THE PREMISES. OBSERVED APPROXIMATELY 20-30 MOUSE DROPPINGS ON THE FLOOR OF THE REAR STORAGE AREA BEHIND GARBAGE CONTAINER AND UNDER THE STORAGE SHELVES. MANAGEMENT INSTRUCTED TO CLEAN AND REMOVE ALL RODENT DROPPINGS FROM ALL AFFECTED AREAS. ADDITIONAL PEST CONTROL SERVICE IS NEEDED TO ELIMINATE THE PEST ACTIVITY. PRIORITY FOUNDATION #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.
