PROPER HOT HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

baked chicken, meatloaf, stuffing, macaroni not hot holding at 135 or higher; time log not being used in place of temperature since march 2025

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.
