08. Proper hot and cold holding temperatures.

Conditions Observed: Items in both of the two prep top cold holding units were found to be slightly above the maximum cold holding temperature of 41°F (measured temperatures ranged from 43.4°F - 44.4°F). Potentially hazardous foods must be held at or below 41°F or at or above 135°F. Corrected on site. Per discussion with operator, foods were just stocked that morning and temperatures had been checked at that time (temperatures for inspection were taken at approx. 9:15 am). Operator adjusted the temperature settings to a lower setting for both units and will continue to monitor temperatures to ensure they remain below 41°F. Thank you for correcting this minor violation. Please continue to monitor temperatures, and adjust or repair the refrigeration units if needed.
