minorCode 11BCleaning and sanitizing
Official Wording
Wiping cloths dirty, not stored properly in sanitizing solutions
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.
Cooked or prepared foods are subject to cross-contamination from raw foods.
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.
