criticalCode 04EPests

Official wording

Toxic chemical or pesticide improperly stored or used such that food contamination may occur.

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.
