Inspector’s Notes

OBSERVED FOOD ABOVE 41F DURING COLD HOLDING. FOR EXAMPLE: MANGO JUICE AT 45F. LABEL ON BOTTLED PRODUCT STATED, “KEEP REFRIGERATED”. SEE TEMP. CHART FOR MORE FOOD ITEMS AND LOCATIONS. TROUBLESHOOT ANY REFRIGERATED UNIT THAT IS NOT KEEPING FOOD AT THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE ( INSTRUCTED PIC TO TURNED DOWN (TO COLDER) SETTINGS FOR NOW OR TO MOVE THIS BOTTLED PRODUCT TO A NEARBY COOLER THAT IS KEEPING FOOD AT 41F.

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.
