Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Throw out any high-risk foods that have been left in the temperature danger zone for more than 4 hours.
Detailed explanation-2: -TWO HOURS is the MAXIMUM time perishable foods should be at room temperature (ONE HOUR at temperatures 90 degrees F and higher). This INCLUDES the time they’re on the table during your meal. Just ONE bacterium, doubling every 20 minutes, can grow to over 2, 097, 152 bacteria in 7 hours!
Detailed explanation-3: -Food held between 5oC and 60oC for 4 hours or more must be thrown away. The time between 5oC and 60oC is cumulative-that means you need to add up every time the food has been out of the fridge, including during preparation, storage, transport and display.
