May 26, 2026

Pass

1 recorded violation

criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Observed potentially hazardous foods that measured in the temperature danger zone located in a drawer cooler unit (see measured observations). [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. [SA] PIC will have staff discard remainder of food at end of service (2pm) and will use time control until the unit can be adjusted/repaired.

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.

criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Observed potentially hazardous foods that measured in the temperature danger zone located in the walk-in cooler (ham 46F-47F, cheese 47F). Per PIC, they had a large delivery and propped the walk-in cooler door open. Also observed employees going in and out of walk-in cooler throughout the inspection. [CA] ENsure pHFs are properly cold held at 41F or below OR hot held at 135F or above. Minimize loading time if possible. Adjust walk-in cooler to be colder to account for the frequent opening. [COS] PIC propped walk-in freezer door (located inside the walk-in cooler) to quickly cool the PHFs down and will monitor the temperatures of the PHFs. Inspector verified that temperatures were going down.
