number of microorganisms that can lead to food contamination and foodborne
illnesses (pathogen).
Food must be stored at the proper temperatures to keep microorganisms at a minimal
level. Cold foods should be kept at a temperature of 41°F (5°C) or above. The
temperature range between 41° F (5°C) and 135°F (57°C) is known as the temperature
danger zone. In general, food should never be kept in the temperature danger zone for
more than 4 hours. It is within this temperature range that bacteria multiply extremely
quickly.
