Official wording

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 5°C (41°F) or below. - Holding onion soup at 120 degrees F at the warming unit. Other two soups were holding at 135 degrees F or above. Operator stated that they were cooling down the soups. Must use proper cooling method to meet the cooling parameter.

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.
