A. 125 Degrees Fahrenheit
B. 135 Degrees Fahrenheit
C. 145 Degrees Fahrenheit
D. 155 Degrees Fahrenheit

Respuesta :

Answer:

B. 135 Degrees Fahrenheit

Explanation:

Chicken strips are to have a minimum hot holding temperature of 165 Degrees Fahrenheit.

I understand that this option is not listed but the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that poultry and chicken be held at a minimum temperature of 165°F.

A minimum hot holding temperature is the recommended temperature below which bacteria is able to reproduce and multiply quickly which would increase the risk of food poisoning and infections.

For all hot foods, the FDA recommends that none are to fall below 135°F but some foods like poultry require a higher temperature as they are more at risk. This is why they should be kept at 165°F or above.

As chicken strips are chicken and poultry, they are therefore to be held at temperatures above 165°F.
