criticalCode 21Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below. Reach-in cooler holding dairy products ranging from 48 to 54 degrees F internally.

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

Person-in-charge doesn’t demonstrate food safety knowledge.
