Critical items are the ones most likely to make someone sick. This one comes first. Here's how a kitchen fixes it.
Food Code 2-401.11
How can a restaurant or home fix this?
Clothes, eating and drinking
- Wear clean outer clothes and a clean apron.
- Eat, drink, smoke or vape only in a designated area (the break area), away from food and clean dishes.
- The one exception: you may drink from a closed drink container (a lid and a straw is the easy way) if it is handled so it can't contaminate your hands, the container, food, clean dishes or single-service items. Keep it away from food and prep tables.

Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.
100 means the inspector found no problems. Los Angeles County takes points off for each problem. Big ones take off more.
Each inspection starts at 100 points and points come off for each problem found. 90 to 100 is an A, 80 to 89 a B, 70 to 79 a C. Below 70 gets a score card with the number and no letter.
