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

Inspector’s Notes

MILKS INSIDE REFRIGERATOR IN MAIN KITCHEN MEASURED BETWEEN 47-49 DEGREES F. ENSURE COLD TCS FOODS ARE MAINTAINED AT OR BELOW 41 DEGREES F.

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.
