Crítica Alimentos a una temperatura insegura
Los alimentos no se mantenían lo suficientemente fríos o calientes, no se enfriaban con la rapidez necesaria, o no se cocinaban o recalentaban a la temperatura correcta. Las bacterias crecen rápido en la "zona de peligro" entre 41 °F y 135 °F (5 °C a 57 °C), por lo que esta es una de las revisiones de seguridad alimentaria más importantes.

Nota del inspector (en inglés): Whipped Cream (46F) and Mayonnaise based tartar sauce (44F) were observed improperly cold holding above 41F at the time of inspection.

Discussed with owner that foods need to be kept at 41F or lower at all times to be safe and to reduce the amount of product kept in the containers so that the cold air can reach all parts of the food. Discard foods kept above 41F.
