Cold TCS food should be received at what temperature?

  1. 32 degrees or lower

  2. 50 degrees or lower

  3. 41 degrees or lower

  4. 45 degrees or lower

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 temperature is the ideal range for storing cold TCS foods to prevent bacterial growth and maintain food safety. Choosing options A, B, or D would not align with the recommended temperature for receiving cold TCS food, making them incorrect choices.
