criticalCode 1900Food temperature

Official wording

No room temperature storage; proper use of time as a control, procedures available

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.
