The temperature range in which most bacteria grow is between 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) and 140 degrees F (60 degrees C). Raw and cooked foods should not be kept in this danger zone any longer than absolutely necessary.
Pathogenic bacteria can grow rapidly in the Danger Zone, the temperature range between 40 and 140 Â°F, but they do not generally affect the taste, smell, or appearance of a food. In other words, one cannot tell that a pathogen is present. Spoilage bacteria can grow at low temperatures, such as in the refrigerator.
