Official Wording
Mechanical dishwashing: Wash / rinse water clean, water temperature, timing cycles, sanitizer
Inspector’s Notes
Not in Compliance
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.
Hand washing basin with supplies of soap and paper towels in dispensers
Inspector’s Notes
Not in Compliance: Maintain hand washing stations with adequate supplies
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.
