Answer:

Food that remains in this zone for more than two hours should not be consumed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The danger zone is the temperature range in which food-borne bacteria can grow. Food safety agencies, such as the United States' Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS), define the danger zone as roughly 40 to 140 °F (4 to 60 °C).
