#22 — Proper Cold Holding TemperaturesPriority3-501.16

Inspector's notes

Observed previously canned beans, cut tomatoes, dairy yogurt, and shredded cheese 44*F-51*F in a cold table on the cookline at the time of inspection. Also observed a bowl of mixed leafy greens 73*F on a table in the middle of the cookline at the time of inspection. Except during preparation, cooking, cooling or when time is used as a control all TCS foods must be maintained at 41°F or below. Per PIC, temperatures of the TCS food items had been taken less than 4 hours prior to the time of inspection and were verified to be 41*F or less at that time. Per PIC the mixed leafy greens had been recently placed in a bowl on the counter and the PIC decided to time stamp and use 4 hour time as a control moving forward. The PIC instructed the cook to place bags of ice on the TCS food items improperly cold held to rapidly cool to 41*F or below at the time of inspection. Corrective Action: Corrected at time of inspection.
