1 recorded violation

criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Observed potentially hazardous foods located in the food prep cold hold unit and hot holding on the cookline that measured in the temperature danger zone (sliced tomatoes 52F, chili 116F). [CA] Ensure PHFs are properly cold held at 41F or below OR hot held at 135F or above. Repair, adjust or replace unit if necessary. [COS] PIC time marked the tomatoes and other PHFs in the unit for 4 hours total; PIC had staff reheat the chili to 165F.

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.

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Observed potentially hazardous food that measured in the temperature danger zone located in the food prep cold hold unit (sliced tomatoes 49F). Per staff, the tomatoes were recently sliced put into the unit about one hour prior. [CA] Ensure PHFs are properly cold held at 41F or below OR hot held at 135F or above. Discontinue putting sliced tomatoes directly into the food prep cold hold unit until they are chilled to 41F or below in the reach-in unit. Another option would be to time mark the tomatoes for 4 hours and discard them at the end of the 4 hour mark. [SA] PIC time-marked the tomatoes and will discard in 3 hours.
