What temperature should a freezer be at to keep food safe from bacteria growth?

Generally, once the food is actually frozen (which will vary depending upon the food), you're not going to have any bacterial growth. But the minimum temperature for Listeria monocytogenes is 31.3°F.
For best keeping quality, the freezer should be set to 0°F.

Is thawing chicken at room temperature acceptable?
Frozen chicken should be thawed in the refrigerator. Thawing chicken at room temperature can promote the growth of harmful bacteria.
How cold is the refrigerator section of a refrigerator compared to the freezer?
This depends on your preference. A refrigerator can be set to 35-50 degrees but around 37-40 should be an ideal temperature. It will limit the spreading of bacteria but not freeze your food. A freezer should be below freezing which is 32 degrees.
What temperature should a freezer be at?
cold, very cold.

Can you put stuff in the freezer right after cooking?
No we should not put the stuff in the freezer as soon as we cook because it can change the temperature of the freezer.
How do you preserve food is precooking the food with radiation the answer?
no. placing food in a refrigerator will slow down bacteria growth while placing it in a freezer will completely stop the growth. Therefore if your not going to use food right away, I suggest you place it in a freezer to maintain freshness. If you are dealing with meat and you'd like to defrost it, put it in a refrigerator a couple of days before your going to prepare the food. DO NOT place meat on a counter to defrost because it should not be kept out at room temperature for too long because harmful bacteria will be having a party with the meat. lol:P I hope I helped :)
Will bacteria die if you put your food in the refrigerator?
Most of the bacteria in the refrigerator will have slow growth or stop grow but it will not kill most bacteria. Spoilage bacteria thrive in refrigerator temperatures so the food will still get spoiled and some bacteria even thrive in the freezer.
What temperature should you keep an upright freezer?
0 degrees is ideal.
What temperature is food in a freezer?
it will assume the same temp at which the freezer is set.
Why should food never be left on the counter to thaw?
As the food is thawing, parts of the food will be in the temperature danger zone and would allow the growth of bacteria. This increased bacterial load increases the opportunity for pathogen growth as well as spoilage.
