minorCode MN Rule 4626.1520ACleaning and sanitizing
Official wording
Clean all physical facilities (floors, walls, ceilings). Keep them clean.
Inspector’s notes
FLOORS AND WALLS AROUND MOP SINK OBSERVED WITH LONGSTANDING DEBRIS. CLEAN FLOORS AND WALLS AROUND MOP SINK AREA.
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.
Keep all cold TCS foods at 41 degrees F or colder under mechanical refrigeration.
Inspector’s notes
SEVERAL COLD TCS ITEMS MEASURED > 41 DEGREES F. THERMOSTAT WAS ADJUSTED DURING INSPECTION.
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.
