notedCode 3.4(G)(2)Food temperature
Official Wording
3.4(G)(2) - VI. Time/Temperature Controlled Safety Food - Ready-to-eat, TCS - date marking
Inspector’s Notes
Ready-to-eat, TCS food that was prepared in a food processing plant and subsequently opened in a FSO or a RFE is not properly date marked. Observed no discard date on open packages of pepperoni and shredded cheeses
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.
7.0(B) - X. Chemical - Working Containers - Common Name
Inspector’s Notes
Working containers of poisonous/toxic materials are not labeled. ID label all chemcal spray bottles
In Plain English
Cleaning products, pesticides, or other chemicals were stored or labeled in a way that could let them get into food. This is serious because chemical contamination can make people sick quickly.
