COOLER TEMPERATURE WAS ADJUSTED AND MET COMPLIANCE AT THIS TIME. PRIORITY VIOLATION 7-38-005, NO CITATION ISSUED

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.
