6-1C: .04(6)(d)Observed cooked TCS foods (brown sauce, oxtail) that did not cool at a fast enough rate 135 deg F -> 70 deg F within 2 hours. See temperature logs above. Cooling Rate: TCS foods being cooled from 135°F to 70°F in 2 hours MUST cool 0.54°F per minute (roughly 32.5°F per hour). To successfully cool from 135°F to 70°F within two hours, the food must be cooled at a rate of approximately 0.54°F per minute (135°F -70°F = 65°F total divided by 120 minutes = 0.54°F per minute) or 32.5°F per hour. TCS foods being cooled from 70°F to 41°F MUST cool 7.25°F per hour (29°F in 4 hours). To successfully cool from 70°F to 41°F within 4 hours, the food must be cooled at a rate of 0.121°F per minute (70-41 = 29°F total divided by 240 minutes = 0.121°F per minute) or 7.25°F per hour. Corrective Actions: Mentioned items relocated into walk in freezer with lids uncovered to rapidly cool.
