criticalCode MN Rule 4626.0395A1Food temperature

Official wording

Maintain all hot, TCS foods at 135 degrees F or hotter. (Roast beef may be held at 130 degrees F or hotter, if it is cooked according to Part 4626.0340 item B or reheated according to Part 4626.0360, item E.)

Inspector’s notes

Observed sliced gyros meat on large front steamtable at 115*F. Maintain all hot TCS foods at 135*F or hotter. Note: Gyros meat is cooked at beginning of shift and discarded at end of shift. Restaurant is only open 3 hours. Gyros meat could be added to Time as control like is being used for chicken kabobs. Update time as public health control to add Gyros Meat.

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.
