Official Wording

Proper disposition of returned, unsafe, or contaminated food; proper date marking procedures for food at high risk for Listeria

criticalCode 2110Food temperature

Official Wording

Proper cold holding temperatures; greater than 45 degrees Fahrenheit (F) (7 degrees Celsius (C))

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.
