Lorraine’s office is notorious for having potlucks, although there is inadequate food storage area for all of the potentially hazardous foods her coworkers bring. to prove a point, lorraine brought a thermometer to today’s potluck. she found the following temperatures. which food(s) is/are in the danger zone?

A chilled macaroni salad made with mayonnaise at 55°F, A fruit salad with melons at 39°F, A rotisserie chicken at 138°F

Explanation:

The danger zone for fruits salad is between 41 degrees to 135 degrees, and that fruit salad was already at 39 degrees, meaning that it become unsafe in just a 2 degree increase in its temperature. The rotisserie chicken at 138 degrees is also in the danger zone because, a rotisserie chicken should be in the region of 145 to 165 degrees in Food safety guidelines, but this is getting way colder than it is and thus may start triggering bacteria. Mayonnaise at 55 degrees is also in the danger zone. While it is still safe at 55 degrees, any more increase in temperature will lead to it not being ideal for consumption anymore.
