thawing, cooking, cooling, holding, reheating of foods, and employee hygiene practices.
Potentially Hazardous Food (PHF) or Time/Temperature Control for Safety (TCS) Food means food that
requires time/temperature control for safety to limit the growth of pathogens (i.e., bacterial, or viral
organisms capable of causing a disease or toxin formation).
Food services, or other designated staff, maintain clean and temperature/humidity-appropriate food storage
areas at all times.
