The city's wording
Children feeding bottles observed stored/used without being properly labeled with child's name and date of preparation at time of inspection.
This is the text DOHMH or the state attaches to the citation. It is a template, so it can sound harsher or vaguer than the finding behind it.
Worth asking the center
How are bottles labeled and stored?
Reading it on a record
Look at whether the citation is marked open or corrected, how long ago it was cited, and whether the same section shows up on several inspections. One corrected citation is common. The same one on visit after visit is worth a direct question. Our guide to checking a daycare and methodology explain the rest.
