Food held at 41 F or lower before being removed from refrigeration can be held without temperature control for up to how many hours?

  1. 2

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. 8

The correct answer is: 6

The correct answer is 4 hours. Food that has been held at 41°F or lower prior to being removed from refrigeration can safely be held without temperature control for up to 4 hours. This time frame is based on food safety guidelines that prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, ensuring that the food remains safe for consumption. After this period, it becomes increasingly dangerous to consume the food as bacteria can start to multiply at rates that can lead to foodborne illness. Understanding this time limit is crucial for maintaining safety standards in food handling and serving.
