minorCode —Handwashing

Official Wording

Separate hand washing basin provided for food handlers

Inspector’s Notes

Corrected During Inspection

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.

Official Wording

Hot holding: minimum of 60�C (140�F) after cooking / rapid re-heating

Inspector’s Notes

Corrected During Inspection: Ensure food is held above 60�C (140�F) after cooking / rapid re-heating

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.
