criticalCode 590.003/3-501.16-PFood temperature

Official wording

(A)(2) and (B) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P)

Inspector’s notes

The tuna sandwich packaged in the grab and go containers was 46F. Provide proper cold holding of 41F or below. (The sandwiches were assembled earlier in the morning and chilled in the walk-in. Verify that items are chilled properly before being placed in the grab and go cooler)

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.
