Spanish term

mesa fría

Spanish to English Other Food & Drink restaurant equipment
Have looked fairly extensively for this on Google, so hoping there are some restaurant specialists there who can help...
The context is "Las salsas, serán productos totalmente elaborados, los cuales podrán llegar en ambiente, refrigeración o congelación (en cuyo aso sufrirán un proceso intermedio de descongelación en refrigeración) y que se podrán mantener para su consumo en refrigerado (mesa fría o biberones) o bien ser salsas calientes que se mantendrán en baño maría previo tratamiento térmico en microonda"
Thanks!

cold holding unit/table

If you need the technical term (especially that used for food safety), it is called a cold-holding unit or table. This is the term used in North America for kitchen preparation areas where food such as cut vegetables, sliced meats etc. are kept so the chef has easy access to them. This term can also refer to buffet units for cold food, salad bars, etc.

I am sure of this because I have been a restaurant owner for more than 10 years.

I am not a restaurant expert, but it looks like the literal translation may be correct here:

cold table:
