criticalCode K07Food temperature

Official Wording

Proper hot and cold holding temperatures

Inspector’s Notes

Bejing beef in hot holding measured 117F. Per PIC, it was cooked 30 minutes prior to temperature measurement to a minimum 200F. [CA] PHFs shall be held at 41°F or below or at 135°F or above. [SA] PIC will time mark bejing beef for discard by 1:30pm.

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.
