criticalCode 29Chemicals

Official wording

TOXIC SUBSTANCES PROPERLY IDENTIFIED, STORED, USED

Inspector’s notes

Toxic items 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.

More about chemicals stored or used unsafely
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. (Leak at dish rinsing sink.)

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.

More about water, plumbing, or sewage problems
minorCode 56Cleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

Physical facilities installed, maintained and clean

Inspector’s notes

Floors not maintained in good repair.

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.

More about cleaning or sanitizing problems
criticalCode 13Contamination

Official wording

FOOD IN GOOD CONDITION, SAFE, AND UNADULTERATED

Inspector’s notes

Unwholesome spoiled fruits, vegetables or other foods. (Mold on strawberries.)

In plain English

Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.

More about food not protected from contamination
criticalCode 25Food source and labeling

Official wording

PROPER DATE MARKING AND DISPOSITION

Inspector’s notes

Food not clearly marked to indicate the date or day by which the food shall be consumed, sold or discarded.

In plain English

Food came from an unapproved source, was missing required date marks or labels, or was past its use-by date. Knowing where food came from and how old it is helps prevent illness.

More about food source, dating, or labeling problems
criticalCode 23Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER COOLING TIME AND TEMPERATURE

Inspector’s notes

TCS food requiring refrigeration not rapidly cooled to an internal temperature of 5°C (41°F) or below. (Grits holding internally at 85 degrees F after cooling for 2.5 hours.)

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.

More about food kept at an unsafe temperature
minorCode 37Equipment and utensils

Official wording

Thermometers provided and accurate

Inspector’s notes

Lack of accurate thermometers in all refrigeration/freezer units storing TCS food.

In plain English

Equipment, utensils, thermometers, cutting boards, or single-use items were not in good condition, not the right type, or not stored properly.

More about equipment or utensil issues
minorCode 44Equipment and utensils

Official wording

In-use utensils, properly stored

Inspector’s notes

Scoop with handle not provided.

In plain English

Equipment, utensils, thermometers, cutting boards, or single-use items were not in good condition, not the right type, or not stored properly.

More about equipment or utensil issues
criticalCode 22Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER HOT HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 57°C (135°F) or above. (Chicken holding at 114 degrees F.)

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.
