minorCode CHSC 113996Food temperature

Official Wording

Observed 3 curries at 45 F in the walk-in cooked and cooled earlier in the day. Potentially hazardous foods must be cold held at 41 F or below. Curries placed on ice to ensure food holds at 41 F.

Inspector’s Notes

In Plain English

Food was not kept cold enough, hot enough, cooled fast enough, or cooked or reheated to the right temperature. Bacteria grow quickly in the "danger zone" between 41°F and 135°F, which makes this one of the most important food-safety checks.
