criticalCode 2CFood temperature

Official wording

Cooked or prepared foods are subject to cross-contamination from raw foods.

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.

Official wording

Plumbing and sinks not properly sized, installed, maintained; equipment and floors not properly drained

criticalCode 4AChemicals

Official wording

Toxic chemicals are improperly labeled, stored or used so that contamination of food can occur.

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 14APests

Official wording

Insects, rodents present

In plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.

minorCode 15DCleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

Improper storage of cleaning equipment, linens, laundry unacceptable

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.

minorCode 15BFacility maintenance

Official wording

Lighting and ventilation inadequate, fixtures not shielded, dirty ventilation hoods, ductwork, filters, exhaust fans

In plain English

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.
