Inspector’s notes
Not in Compliance: Store toxic/poisonous substances in container bearing identifying labels
In plain English
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.
Corrected During Inspection: Protect food from contamination and adulteration
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.

Inspector’s notes
Corrected During Inspection: Ensure wiping cloths are kept in a sanitizing solution when not in use

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.
Multi-service articles and food contact surfaces cleaned and sanitized after each use and following operations where contamination may have occurred
Inspector’s notes
Not in Compliance: Clean and sanitize food contact surfaces or equipment as often as necessary
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.
