Official wording

4.1(Z) - Temperature Measuring Device - Functionality

Inspector’s notes

Temperature measuring devices are missing, not correctly placed, not readable, or of improper design. Observed missing ambient air thermometer inside the beer cooler where TCS foods are kept. Person in charge will place a thermometer.

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.

notedCode 6.4(K)Pests

Official wording

6.4(K) - Facilities: Pest control:

Inspector’s notes

The presence of insects, rodents, and other pests is not being adequately controlled or minimized. Observed moderate concentration/presence of insects (fruit flies) in restrooms/bar area. Provide necessary pest control measures until presence is mitigated. PIC indicated pest control provider would be contacted for immediate service. Facility to provide copy of service/treatment invoice upon receipt.

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.
