Official wording
Food Labels (Pf)
Inspector’s notes
Salads and fruit cups without labels & ingredients on them supply for all. (Labels were posted on glass door of cold case)
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.
Floors, walls, ceilings, lighting, ventilation, or garbage areas needed repair or cleaning. These are usually less urgent than food-handling problems but still need to be fixed.
