Official Wording
PROPER COOLING METHODS USED; ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Inspector’s Notes
OBSERVED INADEQUATE REFRIGERATION UNITS ON PREMISES TO STORE PREPACKED TCS FOOD ITEMS (MILK EGGS) AT THIS TIME. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE REFRIGERATION. PRIORITY VIOLATION 7-38-005. NO CITATION ISSUED.
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.

PERSON IN CHARGE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE PEST CONTROL LOGBOOK. INSTRUCTED TO PROVIDE A COMPLETE PEST CONTROL LOGBOOK WITH THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS. PRIORITY FOUNDATION VIOLATION 7-38-020. NO CITATION ISSUED.
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.
