Question

If food products are keep in the TDZ range, what should be done before two
hours have passed?

Answer 1

If food products are kept in the TDZ range (Temperature Danger Zone, which is between 40°F and 140°F or 4°C and 60°C), it is important to either cook or chill the food product within two hours. This is to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses. Food should be cooked to a safe internal temperature or refrigerated promptly to reduce the risk of foodborne illness.
