Thread: Food safety?

When dealing with raw meats I know you want to keep it below 40*.
What about something cooked in chicken stock i.e. chicken soup, gravy?

Food safety rules say keep everything either 140+ or 40- (or was it
45-)

I got my restaurant Food Safety cert back in 1981 or 2.

145F for Beef medium rare but not Chicken http://foodforu.ca/temps.html
This is stated on the http://www.usda.gov website as well.

Same thing, Mike. The Danger Zone is between 40-140 deg.
Best is colder than 40 and hotter than 140 for keeping.
