criticalCode —Food temperature

Official wording

Hot holding: minimum of 60�C (140�F) after cooking / rapid re-heating

Corrected During Inspection: Ensure food is held above 60�C (140�F) after cooking / rapid re-heating

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.
