Terms in the inspectors’ reports

Time/temperature control for safety food: Food that has to be kept hot, at 135°F or above, or cold, at 41°F or below, to stay safe: meat, seafood, eggs, dairy, cooked rice and beans, cut melons and the like.
Food-contact surface: Anything food touches, such as cutting boards, utensils, counters and the inside of ice machines.
Nonfood-contact surface: Surfaces food doesn’t touch, such as the outsides of equipment, handles and door gaskets.
Vacuum breaker, backflow: Plumbing parts that keep dirty water, such as from a mop sink hose, from flowing back into the clean water supply.
Wet nesting: Stacking dishes or containers before they have dried, which traps moisture where germs can grow.
