Proper cooling methods

Inspector’s notes

Measured chia pudding at 76F in a covered container that was just prepared. [CA] When cooling food leave uncovered until it reaches 41F. [COS]

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.

Official wording

Food contact surfaces clean, sanitized

In plain English

Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
