Please obtain a probe style food thermometer. Properly calibrate the thermometer and do regular checks of temperatures at the beginning and throughout the day.
A number of items are left on the counter during the lunch rush. The time temperature controlled for safety foods must be held at or below 41F or a written procedure for time in lieu of temperature is required and must be followed.
If time without temperature control is used as the public health control for a working supply of time/temperature controlled for safety food that is displayed or held for sale or service, written procedures shall be maintained in the food service operation or retail food establishment and made available to the licensor upon request.
To prevent excessive bacterial growth if time alone is used as a public health control for a time/temperature controlled for safety food that is either a working supply or being displayed or held for immediate consumption, the operator must meet all 5 of the following requirements:
1) Food shall have an initial temperature of 41 ºF (5 ºC) or less when removed from cold holding temperature control, and the food temperature may not exceed 70 ºF (21 ºC) within a maximum time period of 6 hours;
2) The food shall be marked or identified to indicate the time that is 6 hours past the time when the food is removed from temperature control;
3) Food shall be monitored to ensure that the warmest portion of the food does not exceed 70 ºF (21 ºC) during the 6 hour period;
