Approved - Minor Violations

1 recorded violation

notedCode 3.4(F)(1)(a)Food temperature

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 spaghetti noodles hot holding at 123 degrees Observed spaghetti w/meat sauce hot hot holding at 120 degrees -PIC reheated the spaghetti noodles and spaghetti w/meat sauce

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.
