Study Notes
Food Safety and Temperature Control
- The temperature range known as the danger zone for food is between 40°F and 140°F (4°C and 60°C).
- Foods should not be left in the danger zone for more than two hours to prevent bacterial growth.
- Thermometers are essential in food handling to ensure that foods are cooked to safe internal temperatures and properly stored.
- Chilling hot foods should be done at temperatures below 40°F (4°C) to safely reduce their temperature.
- Maintaining proper food temperatures is critical to prevent foodborne illnesses and ensure overall food safety.
Additional Topics in Food Safety
- Chapter four includes discussions on various food safety practices and regulations to ensure safe food preparation and handling.
