Generally, potentially hazardous foods should be stores at 40°F or below. Vacuum-packaged foods that require refrigeration should be stored at 38°F or below, due to concerns about Clostridium botulinum.
Cold food should be served at or below 41 hot food should be at or above 135
It is a matter of food safety. Food should be kept hot enough (or cold enough) to prevent the food from spoiling. That would make the food unsafe to eat.

To hold food cold is a somewhat awkward way of saying to keep food cold, or in other words, if the food is refrigerated, you are not letting it warm up to room temperature, but maintaining the reduced temperature.
That would depend on the food, "The Danger Zone is 45 to 140°F" Any cold food should be kept below 45, and hot food should be kept above 140 degrees.
A refrigerator should be set to a temperature of 37 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure optimal food preservation and freshness.
The ideal temperature for a fridge is around 37 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. To maintain food safety and freshness, a fridge should be set to a temperature below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
TEMPERATURE Cold air is denser
if any cold food is unrefrigerated or hot food hits below 140 for 3.5 hours, discard.
If your fridge temperature is 10 degrees, it is too cold for storing food safely. Adjust the temperature settings to be between 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit to keep your food fresh and safe to eat.
No, the temperature of food does not determine how fattening it is.
The ideal temperature for a fridge is 37-40 degrees Fahrenheit. To ensure food safety and preservation, a fridge should be set to 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below.
