Final answer:

Refrigerated, ready-to-eat time/temperature control for safety (TCS) foods can be stored safely at 41 degrees for 7 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Refrigerated, ready-to-eat time/temperature control for safety (TCS) foods can be stored safely at 41 degrees for no more than 7 days. TCS foods are perishable and can support the rapid growth of bacteria when kept between 4 and 60 degrees C (40 and 140 degrees F) for more than two hours. It is important to ensure that the temperature in the refrigerator is kept at or below 4 degrees C (40 degrees F) to inhibit bacterial growth.
