criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Observed potentially hazardous food located in the food prep cold hold and in the drawer cooler that measured in the temperature danger zone (see measured observations). Per PIC the items in the food prep unit were there since 9am and the PHFs in the drawer cooler were in the unit since 11am. [CA] Ensure PHFs are properly cold held at 41F or below OR hot held at 135F or above. Repair, adjust or replace units if necessary.

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.
