Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
Noodle stored on the preparation fridge was measured at 49 oF. [CA] All cold-held food products must be stored at or below 41 oF, or at or above 135 oF at all the time.
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.
