While TCS foods are cooling, keep containers uncovered, unstacked, and spread out.
Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED CONTAINER WITH BEEF TIGHTLY COVERED DURING THE COOLING PROCESS. FOOD WAS REGISTERING AROUND 128F. FOOD WAS RECENTLY MADE. DO NOT COVER / WRAP TCS FOOD DURING HOT COOLING OR COOLING FROM AMBIENT. PIC REMOVED PLASTIC COVER 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.
Have an approved chlorine chemical sanitizer solution. The solution must have a minimum concentration of 50 ppm. The solution must also meet the temperature and pH requirements of this rule.
Inspector’s notes
THREE COMP SINK WAS REGISTERING 10PPM OF SANITIZER (CHLORINE). RANGE FOR CHLORINE IS 50-200PPM. PIC ADDED MORE CHLORINE TO REACH 50PPM.
In plain English
Cleaning products, pesticides, or other chemicals were stored or labeled in a way that could let them get into food. This is serious because chemical contamination can make people sick quickly.
minorCode MN Rule 4626.0285BCleaning and sanitizing
Official wording

Inspector’s notes
OBSERVED SANITIZER BUCKET REGISTERING 10PPM OF CHLORINE SANITIZER. RANGE FOR CHLORINE IS 50-200PPM. PIC MADE NEW SOLUTION TO READ 100PPM.
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.
