Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
Different varieties of cheese stored on the preparation table were measured between 49°F and 55 °F. The chef said the food products were moved from the walk-in cooler into the preparation fridge an hour ago. [CA] All potentially hazardous foods like meat, seafood, poultry, dairy products, cooked vegetables, cooked cereals, greens, and diced tomatoes shall always be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. If these food products are stored at room temperature, time/temperature logs must be properly used which indicate the time the food product was taken from the safe temperature zone, and the time the food products shall be discarded. The chef stores both food products on an ice bath (COS).
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.
