Official wording

3-501.16 Cold Holding. Observed deli sandwiches at 45F to 49F in the self serve reach in cooling unit in front of the registers. Ready-to-eat, time/temperature control foods shall be maintained at 41F at all times during cold holding. Talked to person in charge about different ways to maintain deli sandwiches at proper temperature.

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.
