notedCode 7.1(A)Chemicals

Official wording

7.1(A) - X. Chemical - Storage: Separation

Inspector’s notes

Poisonous/toxic materials are stored in a manner that could contaminate food, equipment, utensils, linens, or single-service or single-use articles. Chemicals were hanging on above 3 comp. Sink. Keep chemicals below or away from food, food prep.area and food contact surfaces to prevent contamination. Corrected on site.

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.

notedCode 3.4(F)(1)(b)Food temperature

Official wording

3.4(F)(1)(b) - VI. Time/Temperature Controlled Safety Food - Time/Temperature Controlled for Safety Food - Cold Holding

Inspector’s notes

TCS foods were being held at temperatures >41° F. Coffee creamer held on temp.64 F. Keep all cold TCS food on temp.41 F or below to prevent contamination. Corrected on site.

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.
