Per PIC, they removed them from the hot hold cabinet as they measured below 165F and were going to reheat them in the oven but ended up taking a break before reheating the sausages. 2. Raw chicken in the walk in cooler measured between 45-47F at around 4 pm. Per PIC, the chicken was delivered from their sister location at around 11 am. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. [COS] 1. Sausages were reheated to 165F internal temperature. [COS] 2. Chicken was discarded. See VC&D report.
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.
