minorCode MN Rule 4626.0380ABCFood temperature

Official wording

Thaw TCS food by one of the following methods: • Inside a refrigerator • Kept completely under running water of 70 degrees F or less. The food must remain at 41 degrees F or less. • In a microwave oven • As part of the cooking process

Inspector’s notes

Observed raw meat thawing on the counter top. This is not approved. Discussed thawing methods with staff on site. Only use one of the methods outlined in the rule above.

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.
