Question

1. what temperature range is known as the \temperature danger zone\? *

0°f - 32°f
32°f - 70°f
41°f - 135°f
140°f - 212°f

Explanation:

The temperature danger zone refers to the range in which bacteria grow most rapidly. According to food safety guidelines, this range is \(41^{\circ}F - 135^{\circ}F\). Temperatures below \(41^{\circ}F\) slow bacterial growth (refrigeration temperatures), and temperatures above \(135^{\circ}F\) (cooking, hot - holding) also inhibit rapid bacterial growth.

Answer:

\(41^{\circ}F - 135^{\circ}F\)
