criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

In the back of house area, at the upright cooler, several PHFs measured above 41°F. (unopened pasteurized milk measured at 45°F, thai tea 51°F, blueberry syrup 43°F). The digital thermometer read out measured at 37°F. Per PIC, they receive milk deliveries every 2-3 days and was unsure about when the last delivery took place. Note: One layer of the racks was completely filled with milk, blocking the flow of air. Ambient air of the cooler measured at 47°F and after moving the milk around to allow space for airflow the ambient air dropped to 40°F. Unopened pasteurized dairy products can be stored at 45°F, no violation. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. [COS] Thai Tea was moved to another cooler to rapidly cool. Different syrup varieties dropped to below 41°F after milk was reorganized. Syrups were labeled with today's date.

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.
