Official Wording

Precooked, refrigerated potentially hazardous food is not reheated to 165�F or above within two hours.

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

Pesticide application not supervised by a certified applicator
