(A)(1) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P)

Inspector’s notes

Meatballs in holding between 119F and 124F. PIC will need to besure all foods are at 135F in hot holding. Foods that are reheated will need to be reheated to 165F before being put into hot holding unit. Chili was just at 135F. Please review with staff.

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.

Controlling Pests (Pf)

Inspector’s notes

PIC will need to address the fruit fly issue in the kitchen and warewashing areas. PIC stated that someone has called to address it. Please provide that report to me by email. 10-28-24 At this time PIC did have a report but did see a few. Please continue to clean and have pest control apply chemicals to remove them. Ask Pest Control about the use of a fan.

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.
