Hot or cold food held at improper temperature (corrected on site)

Inspector notes: Observed meatballs in tomato sauce(128-131'F) being stored in a steam table on the assembly line. Steam table had not been filled with water, therefore unable to regulate temperature accordingly. PIC was unsure how long the steam table was lacking water. Discussed proper hot-holding parameters with PIC. Except during preparation, cooking, cooling or when time is used as a control all TCS foods must be maintained at 135°F or above.
