minorCode 4400Contamination

Official wording

Plumbing properly sized, installed, and maintained; proper backflow devices, indirect drains, no cross-connections

minorCode 4200Cleaning and sanitizing

Official wording

Food-contact surfaces maintained, cleaned, sanitized

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.

minorCode 3200Pests

Official wording

Insects, rodents, animals not present; entrance controlled

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.

criticalCode 2110Food temperature

Official wording

Proper cold holding temperatures; greater than 45 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (7 degrees Celsius (C))

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.
