What the surprise visit found
Serious · real illness risk
Food held at an unsafe temperature
Food kept too warm or not cold enough lets bacteria grow, which is a real illness risk.
LA County code F007 · 4 pts
Also noted
Moderate · lower risk
Hot water below the required temperature
The hot water at a sink was not hot enough, which makes proper handwashing and dish sanitizing harder.
LA County code F053 · 2 pt
Moderate · lower risk
Food kept by the clock, not tracked right
When food sits out on a timer instead of by temperature, the timing has to be logged correctly to stay safe.
