Cold TCS food should be received at what temperature?

  1. 32 degrees or lower

  2. 41 degrees or lower

  3. 50 degrees or lower

  4. Below freezing

The correct answer is: 41 degrees or lower

Cold TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) food should be received at a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. This is because temperatures higher than 41 degrees Fahrenheit can facilitate the rapid growth of harmful bacteria, posing a risk to food safety. It is important to ensure that cold TCS food is promptly placed in refrigeration upon receiving to maintain its safety and quality. Options A, C, and D are not correct as they do not align with the recommended temperature for receiving cold TCS food to minimize the risk of bacterial growth.
