Tuna in the left side cold well at the service line was measured at 62 degrees Fahrenheit. Per PIC, tuna was defrosted at 12:00 PM under cold running water. [Corrective Action] Maintain Potentially Hazardous Foods at or below 41 degrees Fahrenheit. [Suitable Alternative] PIC voluntarily discarded the tuna into the trash.

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.
