criticalCode 21Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below. (Blanket quarantine of all TCS food in walk in cooler not maintaining 41F or below, TCS food at 49F, 53F, 55F, 46F - 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.

FOOD-CONTACT SURFACES: CLEANED AND SANITIZED

Inspector’s notes

Food-contact surfaces not cleaned and sanitized (Deli Slicer has build up of debri).

TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below (TCS items holding at 50 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.

Official wording

TOXIC SUBSTANCES PROPERLY IDENTIFIED, STORED, USED

Inspector’s notes

Chemical bottles not labeled properly (corrected).

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 25Food source and labeling

Official wording

PROPER DATE MARKING AND DISPOSITION

Inspector’s notes

Items date marked past 7 days present (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.
