Question

hot tcs foods must be received at _____ or higher.
a 41°f (5°c)
b 151°f (66°c)
c 135°f (57°c)
d none of these are correct

Explanation:

TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) foods are those that require specific temperature control to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Hot TCS foods must be received at 135°F (57°C) or higher. This temperature helps to keep the food in the "safe zone" where bacterial growth is minimized. Option A (41°F (5°C)) is the temperature for cold TCS foods. Option B (151°F (66°C)) is not the standard receiving temperature for hot TCS foods. Since option C is correct, option D (none of these are correct) is incorrect.

Answer:

C. 135°F (57°C)
