Inspector’s notes
*REPEAT VIOLATION* MAJOR: Raw shell eggs stored on shelving above steam table measured at 73F. PIC stated raw shell eggs have been out since this morning. Time not provided.

[CA]: Potentially Hazardous Food shall be cold held at 41F or below or hot held at 135F or above. [COS]: Raw shell eggs voluntarily discarded by PIC.

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.
