- Critical: Cooling* (corrected on site)
Observation: Grits and roasted potatoes noted not being adequately cooled to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Both items were discarded.
Correction: Cool potentially hazardous foods from 135°F to 70°F within 2 hours and within a total of 6 hours from 135°F to 41°F. A longer time for cooling allows an ideal situation for bacterial growth. This has been shown to be the major contributing factor in many foodborne illnesses.
