- K07: Proper hot and cold holding temperatures
Numerous potentially hazardous foods (ham, steak, chicken, cheeses, etc.) measured between 43F and 44F while maintained in the walk-in cooler. Ambient of the walk-in cooler measured 43F via probe. Per staff, the internal thermometer of the walk-in cooler had been reading at 41F less 2 hours prior.

[CA] Potentially hazardous foods shall be held at 41F or below, or at 135F or above to prevent the growth of bacteria. Ensure that the walk-in cooler is capable of maintaining at 41F or below during all hours of operation. *Note: Facility has a past history of the walk-in cooler improperly functioning.
