Detailed explanation-1: -The temperature range between 5°C and 60°C is known as Temperature Danger Zone.
Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature danger zone is the temperature range of 40–140°F (4.4–60°C). Bacteria and pathogens thrive in this temperature range.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.” Never leave food out of refrigeration over 2 hours.
