Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The “danger zone” for foods is between
A
4 degrees Celsius and 0 degrees celsisus
B
60 degrees Celsius and 100 degrees celsius
C
Below 0
D
40 degrees and 140
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The temperature range in which disease causing bacteria grow best in TCS food is called the temperature danger zone. The temperature danger zone is between 41°F and 135°F. TCS food must pass through the temperature danger zone as quickly as possible. Keep hot food hot and cold food cold.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bacteria can multiply rapidly if left at room temperature or in the “Danger Zone” between 40°F and 140°F. Never leave perishable food out for more than 2 hours (or 1 hour if exposed to temperatures above 90°F).

Detailed explanation-4: -The temperature danger zone for food is recognized to be within 40°F to 140°F (5°C to 60°C). Within the temperature danger zone for food, pathogens can multiply at a fast rate and can spoil foods within the first 2 hours.
