Proper cold holding temperatures
Inspector’s Notes
3-501.16 (A) (2) and (B) Time / Temperature Control for Safety Food; Hot and Cold Holding (P); Several portions of cheese at the bottom of the reach in cooler were found holding above 41F (see temperature chart). Potentially hazardous food items being held cold shall remain at 41F or below. CDI- Food was voluntarily discarded.
