criticalCode MN Rule 4626.0395A1Food temperature

Official wording

Maintain all hot, TCS foods at 135 degrees F or hotter. (Roast beef may be held at 130 degrees F or hotter, if it is cooked according to Part 4626.0340 item B or reheated according to Part 4626.0360, item E.)

Inspector’s notes

Observed beans being held at 118 degrees F. Maintain all food in hot holding at 135 degrees or higher.

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.
