criticalCode 21Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below. Salsa holding internally at 52 degrees F. (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 18Cleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

FOOD-CONTACT SURFACES: CLEANED AND SANITIZED

Inspector’s notes

Food-contact surfaces not cleaned and sanitized. (Can-opener blade, ice scoop)

In plain English

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.

criticalCode 53Water, plumbing, and sewage

Official wording

SEWAGE AND WASTEWATER PROPERLY DISPOSED

Inspector’s notes

Sewage and waste water not disposed of in an approved manner. Hand sinks leaking sewage waste onto the floor.

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.

criticalCode 29Chemicals

Official wording

TOXIC SUBSTANCES PROPERLY IDENTIFIED, STORED, USED

Inspector’s notes

Chemical bottles not labeled.

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.
