criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

Measured sandwich wraps at 52F in back reach in. Food items were recently delivered. [CA] Maintain potentially hazardous food 41F and below. Ensure potentially hazardous food is stored in units as soon as it is delivered.

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.
