Detailed explanation-1: -The temperature range in which disease causing bacteria grow best in TCS food is called the temperature danger zone. The temperature danger zone is between 41°F and 135°F. TCS food must pass through the temperature danger zone as quickly as possible.
Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature range at which disease-causing bacteria grow best in time/temperature control for safety food (TCS) is called the temperature danger zone. Temperature danger zone is between 41°F and 135°F.
Detailed explanation-3: -Temperature danger zone: 41 to 135 degrees F. The longer food is in the temperature danger zone, the more time pathogens have to grow. The goal is to reduce the amount of time TCS food spends in the temperature danger zone. If food is held in this range for four or more hours, you must throw it out.
Detailed explanation-4: -Leaving food out too long at room temperature can cause bacteria (such as Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella Enteritidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, and Campylobacter) to grow to dangerous levels that can cause illness.
