Inspector’s notes

Not cleaned

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 4-302.14Cleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

A test kit or other device that accurately measures the concentration in mg/L of SANITIZING solutions shall be provided. (Pf)

Inspector’s notes

Not provided

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.
