Solution

The answer is FALSE.

Explanation:

  • The recommended temperature for holding hot food safely is 135 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other food safety guidelines. Holding food at 98 degrees Fahrenheit is not sufficient to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, which can lead to foodborne illnesses. Therefore, the statement that hot food should be held at 98 degrees F or higher is incorrect.
