PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES
Inspector’s notes

OBSERVED RAW CHICKEN WITH INTERNAL TEMPERATURE RANGING BETWEEN 48.9F TO 49.8. INSTRUCTED ABOVE TO MAINTAIN ALL COLD TCS FOODS WITH A MINIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 41.F OR BELOW. MANAGER IMMEDIATELY AND VOLUNTARILY DISCARDED APPROXIMATELY 51.75# FOOD VALUE OF $184.00. PRIORITY VIOLATION 7-38-005 CITATION ISSUED.
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.

FOOD PROPERLY LABELED; ORIGINAL CONTAINER
Inspector’s notes
MUST PROPERLY LABEL FOOD STORAGE CONTAINERS WHEN FOOD IS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL CONTAINERS.
In plain English
Food came from an unapproved source, was missing required date marks or labels, or was past its use-by date. Knowing where food came from and how old it is helps prevent illness.
