Inspector’s Notes

Drawer unit holding at 51F foods removed from unit during setup to a cooler holding at below 41F. Make all necessary repairs.

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.
