More about signs of rodents or insectsSanitized equipment or utensil, including in-use food dispensing utensil, improperly used or stored.
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.
