Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
Cut tomatoes in the prep unit measured 58F. [corrective action] Maintain potentially hazardous foods at 41F or below. [correction] Manager discarded the tomato. Note: Ambient temperature of this unit was ~ 55F. No other potentially hazardous food items were found in this unit. Do not store any meat, cheese, cut tomatoes, or any other potentially hazardous foods in this unit until it is repaired and capable of holding food 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.
