Terms in the inspectors’ reports

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.
Wet nesting: Stacking dishes or containers before they have dried, which traps moisture where germs can grow.
