Proper cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s notes
3-501.16 (A)(2); Priority; Observed a couple containers of chopped and sliced brisket in the prep cooler and in the refrigerator. TCS (time/temperature control for safety) foods in cold holding shall be maintained at 41F or less. CDI - Conatiners from prep cooler moved into freezer for rapid cooling; temperature on refrigerator was adjusted to be colder and observed air temperature dropping rapidly to cool 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.
