criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

FOUND THE MEXICAN RICE AT 125F AT THE HOT HOLDING UNIT. [CA] KEEP HOT POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS FOOD AT 135F OR ABOVE. NOTE: THE RICE WAS REHEATED TO 165F AND RETURNED TO THE HOT HOLDING UNIT.

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.
