Official wording

Proper cooling methods

Inspector’s notes

In the walk in cooler, (4) 18 quart containers of house coffee (with dairy) completely sealed with lid on measured between 44F - 46F. Per PIC, house coffee was made yesterday and has been in the walk in cooler since then. [CA]: Potentially Hazardous Foods shall be cooled from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and then from 70F to 41F within 4 hours (6 hours total). Use shallow metal pans (no more than 2 inches for solid foods and no more than 4 inches for liquids), smaller portions, ice paddles and ice baths to assist with rapid cooling. When placing food in the refrigerator to cool, containers should be loosely covered or uncovered if protected from overhead contamination, to facilitate heat transfer from the surface of the food. [COS]: PHFs were voluntarily discarded.

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.
