What action should be taken if food is found to be stored at incorrect refrigerator temperatures?

If food is found to be stored at incorrect refrigerator temperatures, the appropriate action is to adjust the temperature and monitor. This approach ensures that the refrigeration unit is functioning properly to maintain safe food storage conditions. Simply discarding food immediately may not be necessary if the food hasn't been exposed to unsafe temperatures for an extended period, and monitoring after adjusting the temperature allows staff to ensure that the food is kept at safe levels moving forward.

While it is crucial to assess the safety of the food, often the food can still be salvaged if promptly placed back into safe temperature conditions. Continuous monitoring following the adjustment helps in identifying any ongoing issues and prevents further risk to food safety.
