In the US, the Food and Drug Administration department recommends a minimum temperature of 135 º F (57 º C).
The danger zone is 41º F - 135º F. Potentially hazardous foods exposed to this temperature range for a cumulative total of more than 4 hours are not safe to eat.
Pasta and rice dishes should be cooled to below 41ºF as quickly as possible to prevent the growth of Bacillus cereus that can produce a toxin, especially in foods that are cooled slowly. Because this toxin is heat-resistant, it's not destroyed by reheating to any temperature.
