Proper cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
3-501.16 (A) (2) and (B) Time / Temperature Control for Safety Food; Hot and Cold Holding (P); While improvements have been made since last inspection; cut lettuce in prep bottom coolers was holding above 41F (see temperature chart). Potentially hazardous food being held cold shall remain at 41F or below. CDI- Food was cooled down with ice before a 4 hour period elapsed during the inspection.
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.
