What are the proper hot and cold holding temperatures?

  1. Hot foods at 140 or hotter, cold foods at 40 or colder

  2. Hot foods at 130 or hotter, cold foods at 42 or colder

  3. Hot foods at 135 or hotter, cold foods at 41 or colder

  4. Hot foods at 125 or hotter, cold foods at 45 or colder

The correct answer is: Hot foods at 135 or hotter, cold foods at 41 or colder

The correct temperatures for holding hot and cold foods are important for preventing foodborne illnesses. Option A is incorrect because 140°F is the minimum temperature for hot foods to be safely held, while option B is incorrect because cold foods should be held at 40°F or below. Option D is also incorrect because 125°F is not hot enough for food to be safely held.
