criticalCode 21Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below. French fries/cooked potatoes stored at 70 degrees F. Items quarantined and discarded.

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.

Proper cooling method not used for TCS food. TCS food (refried beans) not rapidly cooled from 135 to 70 F within 2 hours. Product quarantined and voluntarily discarded.

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.

Inspector’s notes

Sewage and waste water not disposed of in an approved manner. Leak underneath three compartment sink.

The business had issues with hot or cold running water, plumbing, drains, backflow prevention, or sewage disposal. Some of these, like no hot water, can force a temporary closure until fixed.
