criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Observed potentially hazardous food that measured in the temperature danger zone located on a food prep surface (garlic in oil 70F) and in the reach-in cooler (raw salmon 45F and raw chicken 45F). Per PIC, the items were made/prepped a few hours earlier. [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. [COS] PIC relocated PHFs to a different cooler.

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.
