criticalCode proper_hand_washingHandwashing

Official wording

Proper Hand Washing: Not In Compliance

In plain English

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

criticalCode cold_holding_temperatureFood temperature

Official wording

Cold Holding 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 hot_and_cold_running_water_providedWater, plumbing, and sewage

Official wording

Hot And Cold Running Water Provided: Not In Compliance

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 rodents_and_insectsPests

Official wording

Rodents And Insects: 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.
