It is the middle of a service and your walk-in refrigerator has broken down. You call the repairman to fix the problem. How much time can the foods in the refrigerator hold (above 40 °F) before you need to throw them away?

  1. 1 hour
  2. 2 hours
  3. 4 hours
  4. 8 hours
Explanation

Answer: B - Foods can be stored for two hours above the temperature of 40 °F if your refrigerator breaks. If your food remains above this temperature for more than two hours, you should throw all the perishable foods in the refrigerator in the garbage. For this reason, it is important to get some form of insurance when running your food service establishment.
