majorCode MN Rule 4626.0390BFood temperature

Official wording

While TCS foods are cooling, keep containers uncovered, unstacked, and spread out.

Inspector’s notes

Boiled potatoes were observed cooling in the Reach In Cooler were observed improperly cooling with aluminum foil tightly covering the food. Discussed with Director that foods need to be uncovered while cooling so that they can cool most rapidly and safely. Director lifted cling film to allow air to escape and the potatoes to cool faster. Retrain staff to cool foods uncovered.

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.
