Equipment in poor repair
The department's words
K35 Equipment, utensils: Approved, in good repair, adequate capacity
The bottom shelves where the chips are stored has accumulated food particles throughout the length of it. [CA] Thoroughly clean the shelves. The dairy walk in has liners with indented surfaces that are accumulating mold/mildew- like growth. [CA] This liner is not recommended since it has the indented surface which makes it more difficult to properly wash and sanitize and easier to grow mold/mildew. Wash and sanitize these if they are going to be reused.

Ice-water method
- 1. Fill a large glass with crushed ice, then add cold water to the top. Stir.

About this record
Opens the county's own page for this place.
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.
