The person in charge must ensure employees verify food delivered and received at the facility is: obtained from approved sources; delivered at required temperatures; protected from contamination, and adulteration. Food received during non-operating hours must meet the standards identified above and must be properly stored, including if necessary refrigerated.
Inspector’s notes
Observed facility to not have a procedure for verifying the temperature of cold TCS foods upon receipt. Develop a policy to make sure that cold TCS foods are received at a temperature of 41 degrees F or below.
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.
