Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria are all around us, including those that can cause food poisoning. Food poisoning bacteria grow best at temperatures between 5°C and 60°C. This is called the Temperature Danger Zone. Keeping potentially hazardous foods cold (below 5°C) or hot (above 60°C) stops the bacteria from growing.
Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature danger zone is defined as the temperature between 41°F to 135°F. Foods left too long in the danger zone can cause foodborne illness.
