Food-contact surfaces: cleaned & sanitized
Inspector’s notes
4-601.11(A); Priority foundation; Observed a significant number of metal and plastic food containers with sticker pieces and sticky residue on their surfaces while stored on the clean dish shelves. Also observed several knives stored on a magnetic strip with residue on the blades. Equipment food-contact surfaces of equipment shall be clean to sight and touch. Knives were removed and placed at the dishwasher for cleaning but due to the volume of containers with debris on their surfaces they could not all be removed at this time. Remove containers and thoroughly clean to remove residue and sticker pieces from surfaces; follow-up by 7/10/2026. Repeat.
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.

Proper cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
3-501.16 (A)(2); Priority; Observed several foods holding above 41F across different coolers; see temperature table. TCS (time/temp control for safety) food in cold holding shall be maintained at 41F or less. CDI - PIC voluntarily discarded foods above 45F; ice bags added to other foods to cool.
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.

CDI - Lids adjusted to allow for better air flow over food and discussed better cooling methods with PIC.

Insects & rodents not present; no unauthorized animals
Inspector’s notes
6-501.111; Core; Observed gathering of fruit flies under one of the prep tables and under the dishwasher. The premises shall be maintained free of insects; rodents; and other pests. Address source of flies; potentially standing water or dirty floors/equipment; before the next inspection. REHS strongly recommends thoroughly cleaning these areas.
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.
