Understand the finding without losing the official context.

Usually treated as serious

What it means

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.

How serious is it?

Each department labels its own findings. The severity shown on a restaurant’s record comes from the official inspection, and a past finding may have been corrected. Look for follow-up inspections.
