Official wording
Have an item to verify the surface temperature of dishes reaches 160 degrees F inside mechanical hot water dishwashers.
Inspector’s notes
There was no means of measuring the high temperature dish machine's rinse cycle that was independent from the machine at the time of inspection. Provide an item, such as temperature stickers or an irreversible thermometer that meets this requirement so that the dishwasher can be monitored to ensure it is sanitizing dishes. Maintain on site at all times.
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.
