notedCode 3.4(F)(1)(b)Food temperature
Official wording
3.4(F)(1)(b) - VI. Time/Temperature Controlled Safety Food - Time/Temperature Controlled for Safety Food - Cold Holding
Inspector’s notes
TCS foods were being held at temperatures >41° F. Waffle mix stored in room temperature.
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.
