  • All Potentially Hazardous Food (PHF/TCS) is maintained at or below 41° except for short periods during preparation or handling from receipt, through storage, preparation, and/or display whether in or out of refrigeration.<br><br>"Using the infrared section of your thermometer, spot check the cases and walk-in cooler to ensure all items are at 41° or below (45° on surface, if packaged). If packaged product is at 45°or above, use probe to take a temp by sandwich method or by taking the internal temp of the product. Any spike in temperature should be further identified with the probe, by providing an internal check. Notify management immediately if opportunities are found. Exception applies to items that are controlled by using time as a public health control. If cold foods are being held by time, the SOP must be present and a time of discard must be indicated (on a log or on/near the<br>product) for each product being held using time as a public health control.
