Samples taken at time of inspection of smashed potatoes left cooling in the back of the kitchen (sampling temperature is 20.8C) and sauteed onions on the grill line (sampling temperature 27.8C). The potatoes should be cooled in the fridge as soon as possible and 2-hour portions of onions should be brought out of the fridge.
