CONSUMER ADVISORY PROVIDED FOR RAW & UNDERCOOKED FOODS
No consumer advisory for raw/undercooked food and/or otherwise processed to eliminate pathogens.
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.

Employee food and drinks stored improperly inside reach-in coolers, on food storage counters, and on food equipment shelving. Liquid employee medication stored next to and above customer food.
This covers things like hair restraints, jewelry, clean clothing, eating or drinking in food prep areas, touching ready-to-eat food with bare hands, or not having a sick-employee policy.
