PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES
TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below. (Ham Sandwiches 50F Internal temperature of the meat - Discarded)
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.
