Official wording

(B) Cooling Methods (C)

Inspector’s notes

Diced tomatoes inside of the flip top pizza cooler with an elevated temperature of 52F. Address and ensure all TCS foods are being properly cooler prior to being placed out for service.

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.

In plain English

Dishes, equipment, or surfaces that touch food were not properly washed, rinsed, and sanitized, or sanitizer was not at the right strength. Clean surfaces help stop germs from spreading to food.
