2 recorded violations

criticalCode —Contamination

Official wording

Food protected from contamination or adulteration

Not in Compliance

In plain English

Food was stored or handled in a way that could let germs or other material get into it, such as raw meat stored above ready-to-eat food or uncovered food. Cross-contamination is a common cause of foodborne illness.

criticalCode —Food temperature

Official wording

Mechanical dishwashing: Wash / rinse water clean, water temperature, timing cycles, sanitizer

Inspector’s notes

Not in Compliance

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.
