What is the minimum temperature hot foods should be held at?

135°F
120°F
140°F
130°F

The correct answer is: 135°F

Hot foods should be held at a minimum temperature of 135°F. This temperature is considered safe for preventing the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illnesses. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they are lower than the recommended minimum temperature, which can allow bacteria to grow and pose a potential health risk to consumers. It is important to maintain the correct holding temperature for hot foods to ensure food safety and prevent contamination.
