Wiping cloths left out of sanitizer
The department's words
K40 Wiping cloths: properly used, stored
A couple of wet/soiled wiping cloths were stored on the counters. [CA] Wet/soiled wiping cloths must be stored in a bucket that has standard sanitizer concentration in between use which is 200 ppm quaternary ammonia or 100 ppm chlorine (bleach).
Food Code 3-304.14
How can a restaurant or home fix this?
Keep the bucket strong
- Wet cloths sit in sanitizer between uses: chlorine 50–99 ppm, or quat at label strength.
- Test with the cloths in the bucket when you mix it and every 2 hours.
- Remake it at once if it tests low or has food or dirt in it. Never just add more sanitizer to a dirty bucket.

According to the logs posted on the delivery document, the food products were delivered to the school cafeteria at 6:55 am this morning. Hot food products delivered cold from the central kitchen are stored on the hot holding unit for couple of hours until they are used instead of reheating them on the food products on the upright turbo chef oven. [CA] Reheating of food products which shall be kept on the hot holding unit must be done on approved oven to raise the reheating temperature to 165 oF. According to California Health and Safety code section 114016 (d), reheating for hot holding shall be done rapidly, and the time the FOOD is between 41°F and 165°F shall not exceed two hours. Please adjust your SOP accordingly.

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. Santa Clara County takes points off for each problem. Big ones take off more.
The county posts a green, yellow or red placard after each inspection, and gives routine inspections a score. In the county's data, a routine inspection with no violations listed scored 100, and the score drops as violations are found. The county's page does not say which scores or findings give each color: ask the department.
