Official wording
Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
Measured lentil at 43F-44F in small walk in cooler, per PIC the containers were moved out of the walk in and door was open often. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. Ensure walk in cooler is able to maintain PHFs at 41F or below.
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.
