minorCode 8EFood temperature
Official Wording
Accurate thermometers not available or used to evaluate refrigerated or heated storage temperatures
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.
