Inspection date

Type

  • Critical: Food - Potentially Hazardous Food - Cold Holding* (corrected on site)
    Observation: Pizza deli-top foods cold holding at improper temperatures. (44 degrees)
    Correction: Discard the food and ensure that potentially hazardous foods for cold holding are maintained at 41°F or below to inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria.

If the food is held at 41°F or below the food shall be served or sold within 7 calendar days.
