minorCode K09Food temperature

Official wording

Proper cooling methods

Inspector’s notes

Observed cooked tomato curry sauce cooling in a thick layer in a metal bowl covered in plastic wrap inside an upright refrigerator. [CA] Potentially hazardous foods must be rapidly cooled using one or more of the following methods: • Placing the food in shallow pans • Separating the food into smaller or thinner portions • Using rapid cooling equipment • Using containers that facilitate heat transfer • Adding ice as an ingredient • Using ice paddles • Inserting appropriately designed containers in an ice bath and stirring frequently [SA] Sauce was immediately transferred to a shallow metal pan to be cooled rapidly.

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.
