Official wording

Premises, personal / cleaning items, vermin-proofing

Proper hot & cold holding temperatures

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.
