(3) Is marked, or otherwise identified, to indicate the time 4 hours past the point in time when the food is removed from temperature control (if the time between service set-up and closing is greater than 4 hours). (4) Is labeled with a 4-hour discard time if containers of potentially hazardous foods on time control are placed on preparation counters, even if the outlet is open less than 4 hours. (5) Is discarded within 4 hours of placement on time control. and (6) Is labeled with a 4-hour discard time if time control unit (bain-marie, cold basin) meant to be cold holding or hot holding and not operational or used as intended, as the unit is now considered a counter.
