minorCode 39Contamination

Official wording

Contamination prevented during food preparation, storage and display

Inspector’s notes

Food not stored at least 6 inches above the floor.

In plain English

Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.

criticalCode 19Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER COOKING TIME AND TEMPERATURE

Inspector’s notes

TCS foods not cooked to proper temperature/time requirement. (Raw chicken cooked to 151 degrees F.)

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.

SEWAGE AND WASTEWATER PROPERLY DISPOSED

Inspector’s notes

Sewage and waste water not disposed of in an approved manner. (Leak underneath the 3-compartment sink.)

In plain English

The business had issues with hot or cold running water, plumbing, drains, backflow prevention, or sewage disposal. Some of these, like no hot water, can force a temporary closure until fixed.

Food properly labeled; original container

More about food source, dating, or labeling problems
