(A)(1) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P)
Inspector’s notes
At the cook line observed cooked chicken tenders and egg rolls stored at ambient without any active hot holding at 75F. After a discussion with the food handlers and the PIC it was indicated that cooked foods had always been stored this way without any active hot holding due to the salamander or hot holding device they are stored in and on top of not working. As the foods had been cooked per the PIC within the last 15 minutes staff were able to move the foods into active cold holding. Store hot TCS at or above 135F or properly cool and hold 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.
