Inspector’s notes

REFRIGERATOR HOLDING MILKS IN MAIN KITCHEN HAD AN AIR TEMPERATURE THAT MEASURED 49 DEGREES F. HAVE UNIT REPAIRED IF UNIT CANNOT MAINTAIN PROPER AIR TEMPERATURES < 40 DEGREES F.

Equipment, utensils, thermometers, cutting boards, or single-use items were not in good condition, not the right type, or not stored properly.

Official wording

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

Inspector’s notes

MILKS INSIDE REFRIGERATOR IN MAIN KITCHEN MEASURED BETWEEN 47-49 DEGREES F. ENSURE COLD TCS FOODS ARE MAINTAINED AT OR BELOW 41 DEGREES F.

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.
