Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Bacteria that cause food borne illness multiply quickest between 4°C and 60°C (40°F-140°F). The Danger Zone is this temperature range in which bacteria and spoilage bacteria grow quickest.
Detailed explanation-2: -Refrigerated ready-to-eat foods such as luncheon meats should be used as soon as possible. The longer they’re stored in the refrigerator, the more chance Listeria, a bacterium that causes foodborne illness, can grow, especially if the refrigerator temperature is above 40° F (4° C). Be alert for spoiled food.
