notedCode 113996, 113998, 114037, 114429, 114429.3, 114429.5Food temperature

Official wording

Keep potentially hazardous foods (PHF) cold at 41°F or below or hot held at 135°F or above. Immediately discontinue storing PHF at room temperature., 114135, 114185.1 114185.3 [d-e] - Store wiping cloths used to wipe service counters, scales, or other surfaces that may come into contact with food in clean water with sanitizer or use only once; separate sanitizing containers shall be provided for wiping cloths used with raw animal foods.

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.
