Question

after it is cooked, pulled pork is placed in hot-holding equipment on a buffet line. what is the minimum temperature required for pork in hot holding? a. 135°f (57°c) b. 145°f (63°c) c. 155°f (68°c) d. 165°f (74°c) review later

Explanation:

In food safety (related to Medicine and Health or Nursing in Natural Science), the minimum hot - holding temperature for cooked food like pulled pork is \(135^{\circ}\text{F}\) (\(57^{\circ}\text{C}\)). This is a standard in food safety regulations to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Option a meets this requirement, while the other options are either for cooking (e.g., \(145^{\circ}\text{F}\) for pork cooking) or higher temperatures for other food safety purposes.

Answer:

a. \(135^{\circ}\text{F}\) (\(57^{\circ}\text{C}\))
