    • MAJOR - Observed red curry at 44.6F, cooked last night and cooled improperly in walk in cooler. Operator states curries are usually rapidly cooled using ice baths, but that this curry was leftover from last night's dinner service and was put into walk in directly without ice bath at end of night. All other curries were <41F and cooled properly. Since employee couldn't verify that the curry cooled to 41F in 6 hours, ~8 qts. red curry voluntarily discarded. I recommend portioning out curries into smaller, shallow pans to promote rapid cooling from 135-70F within 2 hours and 70-41F within 4 hours.

About this record

Search the county's inspection lookup for the name or license number L15694.

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.

Marin County gives each inspection a result, not a score, so there is no typical range to show.

Marin County posts a green, yellow or red placard after an inspection, and gives no score. In the county's own inspection data, inspectors write "Green (Pass) placard posted" and "a yellow placard is posted due to the multiple major violations observed". We could not read a county page that lists what each color needs, so ask the department.
