so what does it mean ” Food must be held at proper cold temperature. Food must be held at proper hot temperature”
when do the inspections take place? during the busiest times of day?
Baby Bear said his porridge is juuuuuuuuust right………
It means they had food in the “danger zone” temperature wise. I’ve been out of the restaurant business for a long time, but if I recall correctly the danger zone is 43 degrees – 158 degrees (or something close to that.) Cold foods need to be held below that range and hot foods need to be held above that range otherwise bacteria can start growing. Any restaurant the runs a buffet is going to violate that as it’s very difficult to keep all your hot foods hot and cold foods cold on a buffet since it’s usually open to the air. Delivery places run into the same problems with orders sitting in hot bags waiting to go out the door.
It really doesn’t matter what time of day they do the inspections. Different standards don’t apply just because you’re busy.
WTH does “potentially hazardous food must be properly cooled” mean? It’s not hazardous if it’s cool? If food is hazardous, um, why is it being fed to people? Am I missing something here?
WOW!!! are you kidding!!? would u eat a raw chicken sandwich?… Why not? oh that’s right it contains salmonella, That could possibly harm you. If you eat, you are eating potentially hazardous food.
If you really don’t grasp the concept of food bourne illness, and how it could really ruin your life, if its not cooked, cooled, and stored cold, at atleast standard temps, i hope you dont cook for anyone, or especially your self.
Store properly, cook thoroughly.
