What is the minimum dishwasher temperature necessary to destroy bacteria?
Answer: C - The minimum dishwasher temperature needed to destroy bacteria is 170°F. A final 30-second final rinse at this temperature is sufficient to kill pathogens. Temperatures of 180-200°F may be used with shorter wash times in high-temperature dishwashers.
