TCS foods were being held at temperatures >41° F. Observed cheesecake and red velvet cake holding at 76° F for less than 4 hours. Ensure TCS foods are being held at temperatures <41° F. PIC placed the cakes in the cooler that is holding ambient air temperatures <41° F. +COS
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.
