minorCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

The front refrigerator prep unit was holding food at about 45 degrees F. [CA] All PHF must be held at 41 degrees F maximum. [COS] The owner placed the food into the walk in added freon to the unit and it was able to hold food less than 41 degrees by the end of the inspection.

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.
