Instructed manager to hold all hot TCS foods at 135f or higher. Priority violation 7-38-005. Food discarded valued at $85.

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.
