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.

minorCode 3700Equipment and utensils

Official wording

In-use utensils properly stored

In plain English

Equipment, utensils, thermometers, cutting boards, or single-use items were not in good condition, not the right type, or not stored properly.

minorCode 3000Food temperature

Official wording

Proper thawing methods used

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.

criticalCode 0600Handwashing

Official wording

Adequate handwashing facilities

In plain English

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.

Official wording

Proper disposition of returned, unsafe, or contaminated food; proper date marking procedures for food at high risk for Listeria

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.
