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.
6-301.12 Provide paper towels or approved alternative for hand drying at each handsink. (Pf): Paper towel dispenser at back hand washing sink did was not operational. CDI: Paper towels supplied by PIC.

Staff were not washing their hands when required, or a handwashing sink was blocked, missing soap or paper towels, or used for something else. Hands are one of the most common ways germs reach food.
