Official wording
(A)(1) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P)
Inspector’s notes
Cooked chicken sitting in water @ 92f 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.
majorCode 590.004/4-302.14-PFCleaning and sanitizing
Official wording
Sanitizing Solutions Testing Devices (Pf)
Inspector’s notes
Chlorine sanitizer not registering repair and ensure bottle is not empty (Corrected to 100ppm at time of inspection)
In plain English
Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
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.
