How Proper Temperature Zones Are Crucial to Keeping Food Safe

Keeping food at the proper temperature is critical and consumers should do their best to avoid the “Danger Zone.” According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), bacteria in food can multiply rapidly between 40°F and 140°F when left out for more than 2 hours indoors, or 1 hour if outdoor temperatures exceed 90 °F. Although it may appear and smell acceptable, if food is left out for longer, it should be discarded.
