danger zone temperature
You can help to avoid these health hazards by paying close attention to the food temperature Danger Zone. The temperature danger zone refers to food temperatures between 41 to 135 degrees Fahrenheit, with the most rapid bacteria growth occurring between 70 and 125 degrees Fahrenheit. The more time food sits in this temperature range, the more opportunity there is for bacteria to grow to unsafe levels, causing food to spoil and become dangerous for consumption.
