Official wording

Keep all cold TCS foods at 41 degrees F or colder under mechanical refrigeration.

Inspector’s notes

Raw pork (53*F) and meatball (50*F) inside the grill pull out drawer observed higher than 41*F at the time of the inspection. Maintain all cold food at 41*F or below. The person in charge has been informed to adjust the unit dial and discussed storing less protein in the drawer and refilling as needed.

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.
