Found several TCS foods held in steam table at improper holding Temperature; 10lbs of cooked chicken at 87.4f, 2lbs of lentils at 83.5f, 4lb of cooked lamb at 95.5, 4 lbs of rice at 87.5f. Instructed manager to hold all hot TCS foods at 135f or higher. Priority violation 7-38-005. Food discarded valued at $85.

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.
