FOOD-CONTACT SURFACES: CLEANED AND SANITIZED
The approved sanitizing solution for manual/mechanical ware-washing is not at the proper concentration.
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.

PROPER HOT HOLDING TEMPERATURES
TCS food not maintained at 57°C (135°F) or above. (queso)
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.

LABEL ALL TOXIC ITEMS AS TO THEIR CONTENTS
Cleaning products, pesticides, or other chemicals were stored or labeled in a way that could let them get into food. This is serious because chemical contamination can make people sick quickly.

Presence of insects.
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.
