minorCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Raw chicken and raw chicken wings held on ice located above the batter prep table is measured at 45F. A proper ice bath is not prepared as the ice was only in contact with the bottom of the containers. [CA] Potentially hazardous foods when cold holding shall be held at or below 41F. When using an ice bath, the ice or ice water shall also be in contact with the sides of the container to hold food at the proper temperature. [COS] Employee added more ice and water to create an ice bath around the container.

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.
