Observed some foods to be out of temp control, including raw and cooked meats. All foods temped between 42*F-46*F and per manager had been recently taken out in morning. Manager placed back into cooler. Ensure that meats, raw and cooked, are kept under temp control at all times (on ice or in fridge). Otherwise, foods may be held by time and for 4 hours maximum before they need to be discarded. If choosing to hold these foods by time, then a time label shall be present with the time they were taken out of temperature control (the fridge) and the time they will be discard (no later than 4 hours after). By letting foods sit out of temp control, they can grow bacteria that can then lead to food poisoning.
