Detailed explanation-1: -Keep cold food cold: it must be below 41° F (5° C) to slow bacterial growth and keep food safe. Keep hot food hot! It must be held above 135° F (57° C) to slow bacterial growth and keep food safe.
Detailed explanation-2: -Information. Bacteria grow most rapidly in the range of temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F, doubling in number in as little as 20 minutes. This range of temperatures is often called the “Danger Zone.” To learn more about the “Danger Zone” visit the Food Safety and Inspection Service fact sheet titled Danger Zone.
Detailed explanation-3: -Between 0°C and −18°C (or 0°F and 32°F), most bacterial will survive but not grow. Frozen food is stored at −18°C (or 0°F).
Detailed explanation-4: -Freezing delays spoilage and keeps foods safe by preventing microorganisms from growing and by slowing down the enzyme activity that causes food to spoil. As the water in the food freezes into ice crystals, it becomes unavailable to those microorganisms that need it for growth.
