notedCode 4.5(D)Cleaning and sanitizing
Official wording
4.5(D) - Nonfood-contact surfaces - cleaning frequency
Inspector’s notes
Nonfood-contact surfaces are not cleaned frequently enough. Soiled filters on side of ice machine.
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.

Official wording
3.4(F)(1)(b) - VI. Time/Temperature Controlled Safety Food - TCS - hot and cold holding
Inspector’s notes
TCS foods were being held at temperatures >41° F. Tuna salad held on temp. 47 F in overfilled container.
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.
