Observed coffee base (50F, 56F, and 59F) above 41F inside of the reach-in cooler. The ambient air temperature is at 50F. Noticed a gap at the top of the unit door where the gasket is not attached properly to prevent air from exiting out of the unit. All cold-hold TCS foods must be 41F or below. Corrected on Site (COS): Informed the coffee base was inside of the unit for approximately 1 hour. The coffee base was placed in an ice bath to cool down to 41F or below. The unit must be serviced/repaired and the ambient air temperature must be 41F or below before storing TCS foods inside.

The Person In Charge (PIC) not ensuring proper ambient air temperatures and correct cold hold temperatures of the Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) foods inside of the walk-in cooler and reach-in cooler. The walk-in cooler's ambient air temperature was not recorded for today to determine when the walk-in cooler was not operating properly to keep the TCS foods at the correct cold hold temperatures before the arrival of maintenance. The PIC must ensure the employees are properly cold-holding TCS foods, being particularly careful in holding those foods known to cause severe foodborne illness and death, through daily oversight of the employees' routine monitoring of the holding temperatures by using appropriate temperature measuring devices properly scaled and calibrated. Temperatures must be recorded in accordance with the establishment's policy and procedures. PIC must ensure TCS foods are properly cold-held at the correct temperatures and record temperatures according to their policy and procedures.
