What is the maximum temperature cold foods should be held at?

32°F
41°F
45°F
50°F

The correct answer is: 41°F

Cold food should be held at a maximum temperature of 41°F to prevent bacterial growth and food spoilage. Option A, 32°F, is too low and can potentially freeze the food, affecting its texture and flavor. Option C, 45°F, and D, 50°F, are both too high and can allow bacteria to grow, leading to foodborne illnesses. It is important to closely monitor and maintain the temperature of cold foods to ensure food safety.
