What temperature should hot food be served in hospital institution?

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), hot food served in a hospital institution should be held at a temperature of 135°F (57°C) or higher. This temperature helps to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria that can cause foodborne illness.

Specific requirements for hot food temperatures may vary depending on:

* State and local regulations

* Hospital policies

* Type of food

It's always best to consult with your hospital's food service department for their specific guidelines.
