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: Foods were moved to the 2 door standing prep freezer to rapidly cool.
