notedCode 3-501.14 (B)Food temperature

Official wording

Proper cooling time & temperatures

Inspector’s notes

3-501.14 (B); Priority; Cut lettuce and cut tomato on the makeline measured over 41F and had been cooling since 8:30am. TCS food shall be cooled to 41F or less within 4 hours if prepared from ingredients at room temperature. CDI- cut lettuce and tomato 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.

notedCode 3-501.15Food temperature

Official wording

Proper cooling methods used; adequate equipment for temperature control

Inspector’s notes

3-501.15; Priority Foundation; Sliced tomatoes and chopped lettuce cooling in a deep; tightly sealed containers did not cool fast enough from this mornings prep. Recently sliced roast beef was stacked too high in the fliptop unit to properly cool. Cooling shall be accomplished by placing food in shallow/thinner portions; and by leaving the container loosely covered or uncovered if protected from overhead contamination. Utilize rapid cooling equipment such as walk-in cooler/freezer. Chilling whole tomato and lettuce in an ice water bath may help keep product cold during preparation and reduce cooling time. CDI - cut lettuce and tomato voluntarily discarded. Roast beef was moved to reach-in portion below.
