criticalCode 3-501.16 (A)(2) and (B)Food temperature

Official wording

Proper cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s notes

3-501.16 (A)(2) and (B); Priority; Several TCS (temperature controlled for safety) foods observed above 41F in flip top unit (see temp chart). These foods were stacked over the rim of containers so the top of foods were not maintaining proper cold holding of 41F or below. CDI- excess food was voluntarily discarded. Ensure TCS foods are not filled over the fill line in containers under the flip top.

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.
