Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
In the 3 door preparation cooler insert, raw shell eggs measured 38-45F. Insert was overfilled. Owner stated eggs that were stored in prep cooler 2 hours prior. [CA] Potentially hazardous foods shall be held cold at 41°F or below. [SA] Top portion of eggs were relocated to the 2 door preparation cooler.
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.
