What are the end points of danger zone the temperature range at which bacteria multiply fastest?
The end points or temperature range of the danger zone, where bacteria multiply the fastest, are typically between 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C). Bacteria multiply best in this temperature range, posing a higher risk of foodborne illness if food is left in this temperature range for too long. It is therefore crucial to keep perishable foods out of the danger zone and ensure proper food storage and handling.
