criticalCode 6BFood temperature

Official wording

Enough hot holding equipment is not present, properly designed, maintained and operated to keep hot foods above 140�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.
