minorCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

In the right-side milk cooler at the back of the kitchen area, numerous burritos measured between 48F and 49F. Ambient of the bottom of the unit measured 38F via probe. Staff provided receiving logs, which noted that burritos had been delivered approximately 3.5 hours prior at 40F. Per staff, the frequent opening and closing of the milk cooler may be resulting in the elevated temperature of the burritos. [CA] Potentially hazardous foods shall be held at 41F or below, or at 135F or above to prevent the growth of bacteria. [COS] Instructed staff to relocate burritos to an alternate refrigeration unit.

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.
