criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official Wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s Notes

PHF measured at improper holding temperature: salsa (56F) held in prep refrigerator for less than 2h. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. [COS] Chef relocated salsa to the freezer for rapid cooling.

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.
