criticalCode K11Food temperature

Official wording

Proper reheating procedures for hot holding

Inspector’s notes

Measured bbq pork and bbq pork ribs at 90 F to 100 F below a warming lamp at the cook line. Cook stated that the pork was removed from refrigeration and placed directly under the warmer 1 hour prior. [CA] Reheating for hot holding shall be done rapidly, and the time the food is between 41°F and 165°F shall not exceed two hours. [COS] BBQ pork placed within the oven to be reheated to 165 F.

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.
