notedCode —Food temperature

Official wording

Proper cooling time & temperatures

Inspector’s notes

3-501.14(A) Priority: Macaroni and cheese is 49F and dirty rice is 42-44F that have been cooling since the night before in the upright refrigeration unit. Quickly cool cooked foods within 2 hours from 135F to 70F and to 70 to 41F in 4 more hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135F to 41F. CDI-The above food was voluntarily discarded.

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.
