Official Wording
While TCS foods are cooling, keep containers uncovered, unstacked, and spread out.
Inspector’s Notes
Overserved the facility cooling products; completely covered. Cool to allow airflow and heat transfer by uncovering the containers.
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.

Keep handwashing sinks accessible at all times. Make sure they are only used for handwashing.
Inspector’s Notes
The hand sink near the dish machine was blocked by a cart. The cart was moved. Keep accessible at all times.
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.

Clean surfaces contacting non-TCS foods: • When surfaces may have been contaminated • At least once every 24 hours for consumer self-service utensils • Before restocking consumer self-service equipment and utensils • As often as needed to keep surfaces clean
Inspector’s Notes
The interior of the ice machine had mold build up. Dump ice and then clean/sanitize the interior of the machine.
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.

Provide control of pests by routinely: • Inspecting incoming food shipments • Inspecting the premises for evidence of pests • Eliminating conditions that attract pests
Inspector’s Notes
Droppings were found in the back dry storage area. Clean.
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.
