What is food safe temperature?

Safe temperatures are 5 °C or colder, or 60 °C or hotter. Potentially hazardous foods need to be kept at these temperatures to prevent any food-poisoning bacteria, which may be present in the food, from multiplying to dangerous levels. You can also use time, rather than temperature to keep food safe.

What is the 2 4 hour rule?

The 2-hour/4-hour rule is a good way to make sure potentially hazardous food is safe even if it’s been out of refrigeration. The rule has been scientifically checked and is based on how quickly microorganisms grow in food at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C.

What temp kills bacteria?

The only way to kill bacteria by temperature is by cooking food at temperatures of 165 degrees or more. Bacteria also die in highly acidic environments like pickle juice.

How long can you hold hot food?

If it has been out for more than two hours throw it away. Remember to keep the food at a safe temperature until it is used.
