08. Proper hot and cold holding temperatures.

Conditions Observed: Macaroni salad in front customer reach in was measured at 49F today. Ambient temperature of the unit was measured to be 44F. The food was prepared onsite the day before. With a temperature difference between the food and the cooler, there is the possibility that this food was not properly cooled the previous day. Repair this cooler to hold foods at or below 41F. Be sure to rapidly cool all cooked/cooled foods- 135-70F within 2 hours and 70-41F within 4 hours. Cooking food in shallow, wide containers are an approved method of cooling for macaroni and potato salad. Strongly recommend developing a procedure for cooling these foods adequately. Macaroni and potato salads were tossed today.
