criticalCode MN Rule 4626.0395A2Food temperature

Official Wording

Keep all cold TCS foods at 41 degrees F or colder under mechanical refrigeration.

Inspector’s Notes

The right cold pan unit food items were all at 43-45F. The unit was immediately adjusted and will be monitored.

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.

Official Wording

Use effective cooling methods to cool TCS foods.

Inspector’s Notes

Although most of the food that was being cooled was being cooling in shallow pans there were at least one pan that had chicken curry that was in a large pan that was 6" high. This is not likely to be cooled to 41F in 6 hours as required. Had a discussion with the operators about using ice wands and other methods, including that pans are no more that 2 1/2 to 3 inches in food thickness.
