2 recorded violations
notedCode 4-601.11Cleaning and sanitizing
Official Wording
Equipment, Food-Contact Surfaces, Nonfood-Contact Surfaces, and Utensils
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.
Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food, Hot and Cold Holding
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.
Food Storage-Preventing Contamination from the Premises
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.
