Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Observed PHFs to measure in the temperature danger zone located in the display case cooler (See measured observations). Per staff, the food was made this morning and the sliding door may have been left open slightly [CA] Ensure PHFs are properly cold held at 41F or below OR hot held at 135F or above. Repair, adjust or replace unit if necessary. [SA] PIC will have staff monitor PHFs to ensure the temperature drops; PIC put a request in to have the unit adjusted colder.

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.
