criticalCode 21Food temperature

Official wording

PROPER COLD HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below. (Coleslaw 56F - discarded, Coleslaw 65F - placed in cooler less than 2 hours moved, Shredded Cheese 60F - 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.
