What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded once on May 27, 2025. For example:
29(2)(a) - FAILING TO ENSURE MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, & SANITATION PROGRAM INCLUDES PROCEDURES TO ENSURE INSECTS, RODENTS & OTHER PESTS ARE CONTROLLED.
Protecting food from contaminationHigher risk
This covers how food is stored, prepared and displayed: raw meat kept away from ready-to-eat food, food covered and stored off the floor, and nothing dripping or splashing into it. Cross-contamination from raw to cooked food is a direct route for salmonella and E. coli.
Recorded once on May 27, 2025. For example:
34 - OPERATOR FAILING TO ENSURE THAT FOOD & FOODINGREDIENTS ARE STORED IN A MANNER THAT PREVENTS CONTAMINATION OR ADULTERATION.
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded once on May 31, 2024. For example:
33(2) - INADEQUATE TEMPERATURE MONITORING. The operator must ensure that all refrigeration and heat-holding equipment has a temperature measuring device that is accurate and in good repair.
Other findingsLower risk
Findings that do not fit the categories above, such as follow-ups that confirm an earlier violation was corrected, or requirements specific to this type of facility.
Recorded once on February 25, 2026. For example:
29(2)(a) - INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE, CLEANING, & SANITATION PROGRAM.
