Less than 40F.
Foods are potentially hazardous if they are undercooked. It is important to use a thermometer to ensure foods are cooked to the appropriate temperature.
In the refrigerator, in microwave or in cold running water.
Foods that can potentially cause salmonella infection include raw or undercooked poultry, eggs, and unpasteurized dairy products.
Hot Storage Hot potentially hazardous food should be stored at or above 60°C at all times. Equipment that can be used to keep potentially hazardous foods hot include: • Bain Marie • Pie Warmer * Potentially hazardous food must be placed into bain maries and pie warmers hot as they are designed to maintain hot temperatures and not to heat food up to 60°C or above. Bain maries and pie warmers must also be hot prior to placing hot potentially hazardous foods into them.
Due to the addition of moisture, cooked macaroni should be considered potentially hazardous. Potentially hazardous foods should not be left unrefrigerated for more than 2 hours. Less time is better.
Potentially hazardous foods, such as meat, poultry, dairy, eggs, and some fruits and vegetables, are more likely to support the rapid growth of pathogens due to their moisture content, nutrients, and pH levels. These foods can become unsafe if not stored, handled, or cooked properly.
Several foods are prone to developing harmful bacteria sooner than others. They are usually raw foods like seafood and chicken. The traits that make them potentially hazardous are the fact that they provide a good breeding ground for bacteria.
