For all food the danger zone is 40F-140F
You should keep foods out of the temperature danger zone to prevent bacteria from forming on foods. Bacteria can form on foods in the danger zone after just an hour. The danger zone is under 145 degrees and over 45 degrees.
Hold hot foods at 135 F degrees and check temp every 4 hours. At 4 hours, if temp has fallen below 135 degrees F, then throw it out. Do not reheat it. Do not eat it or let anyone else eat it.
No longer than an hour or so if left out in room temp. Bacteria can start to grow on foods in an hour. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacteria but not all. Foods should be kept out of the danger zone which is above 45 degrees and below 145 degrees. In this zone foods are perfect for bacteria.
41 to 135F. 41 is the temp of the refrigerator and 135 should be the minimum temp of the oven. Anything in between would be some form of room temperature. To keep foods safe, keep them either under 41 or over 135F.
A major problem is time and temperature Foods left in the temperature danger zone for too long(40-140 f) are most acceptable to bacteria growth since this is the temp range they thrive in.
Hold hot foods at 135 F degrees and check temp every 4 hours. At 4 hours, if temp has fallen below 135 degrees F, then throw it out. Do not reheat it. Do not eat it or let anyone else eat it.
Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 40 degrees and Below 140 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.
high temperature is always dangerous
Under ServeSafe guidelines, the max allowable time for food to be in the danger zone is 4 hours.

When the temperature is 47 degrees, NOTHING is in danger of freezing !
