criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

*REPEAT VIOLATION* Sliced tomatoes measured 50F while maintained in the upper cold-hold inserts of a preparation refrigerator at the cook-line. Per a label on the container, tomatoes had been prepared yesterday. [CA] Potentially hazardous foods shall be held at 41F or below, or at 135F or above to prevent the growth of bacteria. [COS] GM voluntarily discarded tomatoes.

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.
