Food not cooled down quickly enough

Cooked food that cools too slowly lets bacteria grow, which can make people sick.

LA County code F009 · 4 pts

Cutting boards and surfaces not sanitized

Dirty food-contact surfaces can spread germs between foods, so this one matters for safety.

LA County code F014 · 4 pts

Several serious violations at once

It means multiple major problems were found together, which raises the overall risk to diners.

LA County code F054 · 3 pts
