Proper cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s Notes
3-501.16(A)(2); Priority; A tray of shucked oysters was observed holding between 42-43F. Maintain TCS foods in cold holding at 41F or less. CDI- PIC voluntarily discarded the oysters.
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.

Proper date marking & disposition

Salsa vera cruz; vegetable stock; charred pineapple and roasted squash recently prepared within the last two days were observed without dates. Discard the food requiring date labels once time/temperature window has expired; if it is not been labeled; or if the label is incorrect. CDI- food items beyond 7 days were voluntarily discarded by PIC. Known dates were added to all other food items.
In Plain English
Food came from an unapproved source, was missing required date marks or labels, or was past its use-by date. Knowing where food came from and how old it is helps prevent illness.
