Inspector’s notes

THERE WAS NO TEMPERATURE MEASURING DEVICE FOR THE INSIDE OF THE DISH MACHINE. PROVIDE. SENDING PRODUCT EXAMPLES WITH REPORT.

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.
