Date marking was not done in a consistent manner according to the code. PIC to assure all open processed foods (I.e. Deli meats etc) and prepared TCS foods (I.e. cut tomatoes etc) held > 24 hours have a DISCARD DATE. Best practice is to document both open/prep and use by dates on each item
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.
