Cooked food not cooled in time
The department's words
K09 Proper cooling methods
In the walk in cooler, meat sauces in the 20 L plastic containers sealed with lids measured between 49F - 52F. Per Cook and Manager, food items were cooked last night and cooled down in the walk in cooler. [CA]: Potentially Hazardous Foods shall be cooled from 135F to 70F within 2 hours and then from 70F to 41F within 4 hours (6 hours total). Use shallow metal pans (no more than 2 inches for solid foods and no more than 4 inches for liquids), smaller portions, ice paddles and ice baths to assist with rapid cooling. When placing food in the refrigerator to cool, containers should be loosely covered or uncovered if protected from overhead contamination, to facilitate heat transfer from the surface of the food. [COS]: Food items were voluntarily discarded.
Critical items are the ones most likely to make someone sick. This one comes first. Here's how a kitchen fixes it.

About this record
Opens the county's own page for this place.
Most people don't know what a normal result looks like for a place that's open every day. The ranges use each place's last routine inspection in this area. No other county is mixed in.
100 means the inspector found no problems. Santa Clara County takes points off for each problem. Big ones take off more.
The county posts a green, yellow or red placard after each inspection, and gives routine inspections a score. In the county's data, a routine inspection with no violations listed scored 100, and the score drops as violations are found. The county's page does not say which scores or findings give each color: ask the department.
