Cold food should be held at or below

  • A.40 degrees Fahrenheit
  • B.50 degrees Fahrenheit
  • C.32 degrees Fahrenheit
  • D.60 degrees Fahrenheit

Answer: A

Correct answer: 40 degrees Fahrenheit

Forty degrees Fahrenheit, about 4 Celsius, is the upper limit for cold holding and the lower boundary of the Danger Zone. Below it growth of most pathogens is very slow, though not absent - Listeria monocytogenes will grow slowly at refrigeration temperatures, which is why ready-to-eat chilled foods carry use-by dates rather than being treated as indefinitely safe.
