criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

In the kitchen, measured a container of pooled eggs on the counter at 60F, and tartar sauce in the 3 door prep unit between 47F and 49F. Per operator, pooled eggs stored for about 3 hours, and tartar sauce stored for about 2 hours. [CA] Ensure potentially hazardous foods are held cold at 41F and below to prevent bacterial growth. [SA] Operator moved container of pooled eggs to nearby refrigeration and placed tartar sauce in the undercounter refrigeration of the 3 door prep unit to facilitate proper holding temperatures.

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.
