Official wording
Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
Boba measured at 90F in hot holding unit. Per PIC, it was cooked at 1 PM. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. OR When time only, rather than time and temperature is used as a public health control, PHFs shall be time marked to indicate when item is removed from temperature control, discarded if not consumed or served within 4 hours, and written procedures shall be readily available for review. [COS] PIC marked time on container for TPHC (time as public health control) from when it was taken out of temperature of control.
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.
