Inspector’s Notes

3-501.16 (A) (2) and (B) Time / Temperature Control for Safety Food; Hot and Cold Holding (P) Observed a container of cooked corn temping between 127/129 F in the hot hold box. Maintain TCS items at 135 F or above for hot holding. CDI- Container of cooked corn was reheated and placed back into hot holding.

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.
