criticalCode MN Rule 4626.0395A2Food temperature

Foods in walk-in cooler were observed to be cooling from recent delivery. Food is prepared at a commissary kitchen 15-20 minutes away. Examples include: soup at 45F, kale salad at 45F and orzo salad at 43F. Make sure that foods are received at 41F or below.

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.
