What if you touched any food that was exactly at 139 degrees Fahrenheit?

Not sure what kind of input you are looking for here. If you touch food at that temperature, you would likely burn your fingers.
Pathogenic bacteria can be killed at 139 degrees Fahrenheit. In fact, recent changes to the FDA Model Food Code puts the upper limit of the temperature zone at 135 degrees Fahrenheit. So, unless touching it contaminates the food with a toxin or physical contaminant, or the bacterial load is huge, the food will probably be safe.

Is 18 degrees considered frozen food?
18 degrees Fahrenheit is frozen food. 18 degrees Celsius is not frozen food.
Equipment such as chafing dishes steam tables and heated cabinets designed to hold foods hot should at least keep food temperatures at what?
Food should stay at about 100 degrees Fahrenheit in order to stay warm. When storing, food should be at 38-40 degrees Fahrenheit.
What is the best way to make sure that the food has cooked long enough?
Take the temperature of it! Fish and seafood should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, ground meats should be cooked to 155 degrees Fahrenheit, whole meats such as beef roast or pork should be cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, and poultry should be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything you are trying to reheat should also be reheated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Is it possible to reheat foods from 41 to 60 degrees If so what would happen if you do?
Changing the food temperature from 41 degrees Fahrenheit to 60 degrees Fahrenheit would not be reheating it and would do nothing to reduce any bacterial load, so it would not make food any safer than if it were eaten cold.
What temperature do children prefer food?
well it depends on the child but i would say about 66 degrees Fahrenheit.
What temperature in Celsius is air in a refrigerator?
It should be about 5 degrees. A properly functioning refrigerator should keep food at a Fahrenheit temperature of 40 degrees - which is just about 5 degrees Celsius.
What cold temperature for food safety?
Non-frozen, refrigerated foods should be maintained at 37 degrees Fahrenheit.
What temperature do the low med and high on a waring pro dehydrator correspond to?
The manufacturer provides that the low setting dries at approximately 110 degrees Fahrenheit, the medium setting at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and the high setting at 175 degrees Fahrenheit. If that is an accurate measure, this Waring model is capable of heat (175 degrees) far in excess of the heat capability of most other home-use food dehydrator models (155 to 160 degrees).
Why does food stored in refrigerators last long?
Foods often spoil because of bacterial waste. However, below about 40 degrees Fahrenheit (about 14 degrees Celsius), bacteria reproduce extremely slowly, and their metabolism slows to the point that they don't consume much of the food, or produce enough waste products to spoil the food. Because it doesn't completely kill all bacteria, food will still spoil after some time. On the other hand, frozen foods are so cold that no bacteria can reproduce, and thus frozen food can virtually last indefinitely if kept well below 32 degrees Fahrenheit (0 degrees Celsius) at all times (freezers are usually about 4 degrees Fahrenheit).
What temperature should food be when cooked?
You can bake something in a "slow oven" at 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Pizza is baked in a commercial oven at 750 degrees F. Most cooking in a home oven is in the range from 325 to 475 degrees F. Water boils at 212 degrees F. The heat output of a typical stovetop burner is 9500 BTU. So the answer is: it varies.
What temperature should frozen food be stored?
Ideally, frozen food should be stored at 0°F or below.
What is an extreme form of vegetarianism?
Raw Veganism.Raw veganism is a diet which combines veganism and raw foodism. It excludes all food of animal origin, and all food cooked above 48 degrees Celsius (118 degrees Fahrenheit).
