Terms in the inspectors’ reports

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.
