Official wording

PROPER HOT HOLDING TEMPERATURES

Inspector’s notes

TCS food not maintained at 57°C (135°F) or above. (Chili holding at 110 degrees F, and gravy holding at 103 degrees F in portable steam well.) (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.
