minorCode 11DCleaning and sanitizing

Non food contact surfaces of equipment not clean

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 13APests

Official Wording

Adequate, leakproof, non-absorbent, vermin-proof, covered containers not provided where needed

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.

Official Wording

Plumbing and sinks not properly sized, installed, maintained; equipment and floors not properly drained

In Plain English
