criticalCode 22Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER HOT HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 57°C (135°F) or above. (collard greens at 92F, discarded)

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.

criticalCode 29Chemicals

Official wording

TOXIC SUBSTANCES PROPERLY IDENTIFIED, STORED, USED

Inspector’s notes

Toxic items not properly stored.

In plain English

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.
