(C)Thawing - temperature and time control. |
Except as specified in paragraph (C)(4) of this rule, time/temperature controlled for safety food shall be thawed: |
(1) Under refrigeration that maintains the food temperature at forty-one degrees Fahrenheit (five degrees |
Celsius) or less; or |
(2) Completely submerged under running water: |
(a) At a water temperature of seventy degrees Fahrenheit (twenty-one degrees Celsius) or below; |
(b) With sufficient water velocity to agitate and float off loose particles in an overflow; and |
(c) For a period of time that does not allow thawed portions of ready-to-eat food to rise above forty-one |
degrees Fahrenheit (five degrees Celsius); or |
(d) For a period of time that does not allow thawed portions of a raw animal food requiring cooking as |
specified under paragraph (A)(1)(a), (A)(1)(b), (A)(1)(c) or (A)(4) of rule 3717-1-03.3 of the |
Administrative Code to be above forty-one degrees Fahrenheit (five degrees Celsius), for more than four |
hours including: |
(i) The time the food is exposed to the running water and the time needed for preparation for cooking; |
or |
(ii) The time it takes under refrigeration to lower the food temperature to forty-one degrees Fahrenheit |
(five degrees Celsius). |
(3) As part of a cooking process if the food that is frozen is: |
(a) Cooked as specified under paragraph (A)(1)(a), (A)(1)(b), (A)(1)(c) or (A)(4) of rule 3717-1-03.3 of |

VIOLATION: Observed hot holding of collard greens and macaroni and cheese at temperatures lower than required 135°F holding |
temperature. Discussed with person in charge. These items were pulled directly from the cooler and placed into hot holding 15 |
minutes before I arrived for the inspection. Proper reheating was discussed. The items were pulled from hot holding and placed |
into oven until the temperature reached 165°F, then they were placed again into hot holding. The temperature was rechecked in |
hot holding and found to be at 135°F. |
|
3717-1-03.3 Food: destruction of organisms of public health concern. |
(H)Reheating for hot holding. |
(1) Except as specified under paragraphs (H)(2) and (H)(3) of this rule, time/temperature controlled for safety |
food that is cooked, cooled, and reheated for hot holding shall be reheated so that all parts of the food reach |
a temperature of at least one hundred sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit (seventy-four degrees Celsius) for fifteen |
seconds. Remaining unsliced portions of meat roasts that are cooked as specified under paragraph (A)(4) of this |
rule may be reheated for hot holding using the oven parameters and minimum time and temperature conditions |
specified under that paragraph. |
(2) Except as specified under paragraph (H)(3) of this rule, time/temperature controlled for safety food |
reheated in a microwave oven for hot holding shall be reheated so that all parts of the food reach a temperature |
of at least one hundred sixty-five degrees Fahrenheit (seventy-four degrees Celsius) and the food is rotated or |
stirred, covered, and allowed to stand covered for two minutes after reheating. |
(3) Ready-to-eat food taken from a commercially processed, hermetically sealed container, or from an intact |
package from a food processing plant that is inspected by the food regulatory authority that has jurisdiction |
over the plant, shall be heated to a temperature of at least one hundred thirty-five degrees Fahrenheit |
(fifty-seven degrees Celsius) for hot holding. |
(4) Reheating for hot holding as specified under paragraphs (H)(1), (H)(2) and (H)(3) of this rule shall be |
done rapidly and the time the food is between forty-one degrees Fahrenheit (five degrees Celsius) and the |
temperatures specified under paragraphs (H)(1), (H)(2), and (H)(3) of this rule may not exceed two hours. |
