what does 2-4 phf means
24 hours
Potentially hazadous food. Since these foods can harbor pathogenic microorganisms and permit their growth or the production of toxins, special care must be taken to keep them out of the temperature. Or pathogenic microoganisms will grow on the food.

True
well duhhh, if you eat it its considered food.
Potentially hazardous food (PHF) should not be left unrefrigerated for more than two hours - or only one hour if the ambient temperature is quite warm. At that point, it should be reheated or refrigerated. To make this more complicated - According to the FDA Food Code, PHF should either be eaten or discarded within 4 hours after it has been removed from temperature control OR if the food was cooked and completely cooled to 41°F then removed from refrigeration, discard the food after 6 hours if the temperature of the food has has not gone above 70°F during that 6 hours. But the food temperature has to be monitored. As soon as it gets above 70°F, it should be discarded. But to know precisely when it becomes unsafe will depend on what microbes are present and growing. You can only go by guidelines.
A "TCF" (time and temp. control food safety) is now being widely used as opposed to the "PHF"- (potentially hazardous foods) acronym. it is any foods that need constant temperature monitoring for safety. hot held foods 139 F. Minimum, cold held foods 41 F. or lower.
yes gluclose is considered a food because gluclose is a type of sugar . you can eat sugar so it is a food.
they considered part of food nutrient cycle becausefood all living things need food
