Official wording

3-501.16 - Observed a container with salsa at 68°F sitting in the 3-compartment sink. The person in charge said it had been sitting there since the day prior. Time/temperature control for food safety shall be maintained at 41°F or less at all times. The salsa was discarded. Talked about discarding any food items that may not be of use anymore

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.
