Proper cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
3-501.16 (A) (2) and (B) Time / Temperature Control for Safety Food; Cold Holding (P) Diced Tomatoes from yesterday are not cold enough in the open top refrigerator: 51F. Feta Cheese 45F. . . Raw Lamb kebabs 48F in the refrigerated drawer on the far right. Maintain at 41F and colder. Diced Tomatoes were taken out of the very shallow pan and transferred to a deeper pan. Feta Cheese rotated to the walk in cooler to cool and replaced with cold feta. Refrigerator was adjusted to a colder setting. Use your thermometer and verify food is maintained at 41F and colder. Adjust positioning within the refrigerator as needed for high moisture-high protein foods.
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.
