(A)(2) and (B) Time/Temperature Control for Safety Food Hot and Cold Holding (P)

Cooked Chicken stored in low boy cooler on cook line was held out of temperature for undetermined amount of time- Voluntarily discarded held from 56-58F over 24 hours. Cool cooked foods properly then store in a shallow container to reach 41F or below.

Why This Matters

Code Requirements
