Official wording
(A)(2) and (B) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P)
Inspector’s notes
Across from the flat top grills on top of the refrigerators observed cut jalapenos at 68F and a mayonnaise based sauce in 1oz cups at 61F; per the person in charge they had been removed from active refrigeration at or around 11:00am and had the staff move them to the walk-in refrigerator to cool to 41F; hold TCS foods at 41F and below.
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.

Sanitizing Solutions Testing Devices (Pf)
Inspector’s notes
At the three compartment sink observed a bulk container of Ecolab Sink & Surface sanitizer hooked up to the auto-mixer but the location does not have Sink & Surface test strips. The person in charge stated that they should only be using quats sanitizer and was able to retrieve a new bulk container of quats retested the solution in the three compartment sink at 300ppm and refilled the in-use red sanitizer buckets in the food prep area with the quats solution. Provide proper test strips for sanitizers used in the establishment.
