Proper cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s Notes
3-501.16 (A) (2) and (B); Priority; Cooked pulled pork in bowls near prep counter were holding 59 - 68F. PIC explained that bowls are intermittently removed from walk-in cooler to prep pork pockets upon customer order. Pork is therefore in and out of temp control throughout the day. TCS foods shall be maintained at 41F or below in refrigeration unless active preparation is occurring. Explained TPHC procedures which may work well in this case. Pork was voluntarily discarded. Return TCS ingredients to refrigeration immediately upon completion of an order or use time control instead. Emailed TPHC form to operator. No points taken today.

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.
