criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

The chicken in the warmer was at approximately 115 degrees F. [CA] The warmer must hold at 135 degrees F and above. It is set to the highest setting at 200ppm F. [COS] The chicken was put back into the oven at 165 degrees F. Seems that the unit is not working properly and needs to be replaced.

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.
