minorCode 3200Pests

Official Wording

Insects, rodents, animals not present; entrance controlled

In Plain English

The inspector found mice, rats, cockroaches, flies, or evidence of them (like droppings) inside the business, or conditions that could attract them. Pests can spread bacteria to food and surfaces, so this is treated as one of the more serious findings.

criticalCode 1710Food temperature

Official Wording

Proper hot holding temperatures; less than 130 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (54 degrees Celsius (C))

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.
