Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Cooked pork on steam table measured at 127F. Cooked chicken measured at 115F. Observed no steam for steam table. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. [COS] PHF reheat to 165F. Employee adjust steam table temperature and maintain 135F hot holding
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.
