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
Observed grab and go yogurt parfait stored in open air case @ 45F. Discussed with Chef to ensure cold holding is maintained @ 41F or below. Chef stored in blast chiller on site. Corrected
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.
