Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -TCS foods that are ready –to-eat can be safely consumed in a 4 hours window. However, if they have not been under temperature control, the foods should be discarded after 4hours. Hot held and cold held foods can be served for four hours without temperature controls if they are discarded after the 4 hours limit.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hot: maintain at 135°F or above. Cold: maintain at 41°F or lower. *TCS foods may be held for up to 7 days at 41°F or up to 4 days if held at 45°F. Frozen: maintain at 0°F or lower.
Detailed explanation-4: -TCS food means time/temperature control for the safety of food. TCS food requires time/temperature control to remain safe for a prolonged time. Controlled temperature storage for a certain amount of time reduces the likelihood of foodborne pathogen growth in food.
