criticalCode MN Rule 4626.0905BFood temperature

Official wording

For mechanical dishwashing machines using hot water sanitizing, the surface temperature of the utensils and equipment must reach 160 degrees F or higher.

Inspector’s notes

The high temperature dish machine was run over several cycles and did not reach the minimum sanitizing rinse temperature of 160F as indicated by the independent thermometer. Discussed with Kitchen Supervisor that the dishes need to be heated to 160F in order to be sanitized. Order repair on the dish machine so that it heats dishes to 160F. In the meantime, dishes can be run through the machine, but must then be sanitized in the 3 basin sink's sanitize sink with the quat sanitizer for 60 seconds before air drying. Once dish machine is repaired and heats dishes to 160F, dishes can be done using only the dish machine.

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.

The digital display showed an error type of message and a thermometer placed in the unit did not drop below 60F, Foods had been placed there before lunch, so they were moved to the Walk In Cooler to cool down. No other foods that required refrigeration were in the unit at the time. Order service or repair on Cooler if it is not keeping food cold at 41F or lower and do not store TCS foods in the unit until it is holding at 41F lower.

Official wording

There was no means of measuring the high temperature dish machine's sanitizing rinse cycle that was independent from the machine.

Maintain this device on site at all times to monitor the dish machine.
