Produce 45°F (7°C) or below
Dairy and Meat 40° F (4°C) or below

In a microwave oven if the product will be immediately transferred to other cooking equipment as part of the cooking process - for example, when steaks are charbroiled from their frozen state.
Once food is ready, it must be served at once. Leftovers must be stored in the refrigerator immediately to prevent bacteria growth. Employees must also learn appropriate handling protocols for glass wares to prevent transfer of bacteria from hand to wares.
