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.

INSTRUCTED TO DISCARD AND REPLACE GLUE TRAPS WITH PEST CONTROL OPERATOR AND REMOVE DEAD OR TRAPPED INSECTS AT ADEQUATE FREQUENCY TO PREVENT ACCUMULATION OR DECOMPOSITION 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.
