Official wording

Keep all cold TCS foods at 41 degrees F or colder under mechanical refrigeration.

Inspector’s notes

The strawberries in the small cooler were 46F. The unit will be adjusted and monitored and repaired if needed.

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 hand soap at all handwashing sinks.

Inspector’s notes

Soap was missing at the hand sink.

In plain English

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

Official wording

Inspector’s notes

The buisiness did not have any test strips for the sanitizer.

The main wall has a section where the tile is very damaged. It is taped together with duct tape. This needs to be repaired properly.

Floors, walls, ceilings, lighting, ventilation, or garbage areas needed repair or cleaning. These are usually less urgent than food-handling problems but still need to be fixed.
