- Red infractions are those most likely to cause foodborne illness and should be corrected immediately if possible or according to a compliance schedule established by the health worker. Example: not keeping food at the right temperature.
- Bruising violations relate to general cleanliness and serviceability and should be corrected according to a compliance schedule established by the health worker. Example: worn floor that needs to be replaced.
- Some common abbreviations: PHF / TCS is a potentially hazardous food / weather control for safety; RTE is ready to eat; PIC is responsible; FWC is a food worker card; The CDI is corrected during the inspection.
Pat’s coffee

There were several foods kept at room temperature, such as raw whole eggs, uncooked bacon, and link sausage. The inspector also found that the hash browns did not thaw well at room temperature rather than in a refrigerator or under running water, as required.
