Official Wording
Thaw TCS food by one of the following methods: • Inside a refrigerator • Kept completely under running water of 70 degrees F or less. The food must remain at 41 degrees F or less. • In a microwave oven • As part of the cooking process
Inspector’s Notes
Observed raw fish in a hotel pan submerged in standing water, thawing at room temperature. Observed raw ribs thawing at room temperature in the original packaging. The Person In Charge (PIC) was instructed to discontinue thawing food at room temperature and to use an approved thawing method. The ribs were relocated to refrigeration for prope thawing.
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.

Observed filters missing from the hood ventilation system for the second kitchen space. Hood filters must be reinstalled and kept intact to support effective ventilation.
In Plain English

Keep handwashing sinks accessible at all times. Make sure they are only used for handwashing.
Inspector’s Notes
Observed the handwashing sink blocked by plastic cups, preventing immediate access for handwashing. The cups were removed at the time of inspection. Handwashing stations must remain accessible and unobstructed at all times to ensure proper employee handwashing.
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.
