(A)(1) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P)
Inspector’s notes
Tofu at steam table @ 98f ensure proper hot hold of 135f or above
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.
Hand sink being used as a storage area for food and bags remove to allow proper access to properly wash hands (Manager removed at time of inspection)
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.
Fruit flies found on wall of ware washing area / prep area in back of service line clean to remove and supply detailed exterminator reports with findings and recommendations
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.
