criticalCode cooling_time_and_temperatureFood temperature

Official wording

Cooling Time And Temperature: Not In Compliance

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 toxic_substances_and_pesticidesPests

Official wording

Toxic Substances And Pesticides: Not In Compliance

In plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.
