TCS foods were being held at temperatures >41° F. Observed TCS foods being held at temperatures >41° F. Ensure TCS foods are being held at temperatures <41° F. PIC turned the cooler temperature down. TCS food began maintaining temperatures <41° 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.
