Official wording
3.4(F)(1)(a) - VI. Time/Temperature Controlled Safety Food - Time/Temperature Controlled for Safety Food - Hot Holding
Inspector’s notes
TCS foods were being hot held at temperatures <135° F or a roast <130° F. Observed hot dogs in hot holding at 110°F. Ensure TCS foods are being hot held at temperatures >135° F. PIC turned up the hot holding unit. TCS foods began maintaining temperatures >135° F.
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.
