A min-max was placed in the unit that the salsas were initially observed to be inside of and that unit had an ambient air temperature of 41°F. A min-max thermometer was placed inside of the other unit that is sometimes used during busy times and the ambient air temperature in that unit was holding steady at 53°F. There was no food in that unit at the time of inspection.
