minorCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Sliced tomatoes and sliced cheese measured 45F at the burger station across from the cooks line in a shallow ice bath. Chorizo measured 46F, and roasted tomatoes measured 49F at the salad bar prep fridge. Per PIC, these items were prepared 30 minutes prior for lunch service. [CA] Ensure that all potentially hazardous foods are held below 41F or above 135F. If using ice bath to cold hold, ensure that ice covers the entire height of the food storage container. If cold holding food in a prep fridge, ensure that food storage container is not blocked on the top or bottom to allow sufficient air flow to cool effectively. [COS] Operator added ice to the ice bath and submerged tomatoes and cheese. Operator relocated chorizo and roasted tomatoes to under prep fridge cooler to rapidly cool.

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.
