Official wording

Inspector’s notes

Observed pudding and eggs in cooler at 50F. Discussed with staff and cooler adjusted and monitor to lower temperature.

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.
