The department's words
K09 Proper cooling methods
Measured whole beans at 53 F within a deep, covered plastic container in the walk in refrigerator. PIC stated that the beans were removed from a can and began cooling 1 hour prior. [CA] Properly store chilling foods in such a way to allow proper air flow. Cool foods using approved containers which facilitate heat transfer, such as metal. [COS] Beans placed within the blast chiller to facilitate rapid cooling.

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.
