criticalCode 18Cleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

FOOD-CONTACT SURFACES: CLEANED AND SANITIZED

Inspector’s notes

The approved sanitizing solution for manual/mechanical ware-washing is not at the proper concentration (observerd employee washing dishes with quat sanitizer at 0 PPM-corrected). Equipment, food-contact surfaces, utensils not cleaned at proper intervals (soda nozzle observed with build up-cleaned).

Official wording

PROPER HOT HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 57°C (135°F) or above (Chorizo & cooked potatoes holding between 90-110 degrees-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.
