criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Measured one container of chicken in the hot holding deli case between 108F - 112F. It was discussed with the food employees that the chicken wings were heated approximately 3 hours prior. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 135F or above while hot holding. [COS] The chicken wings were reheated to the oven and heated to above 165F, measured at 186F.

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.
