The correct answer is D; Reheat it to 165°F and start the cooling process over.
Further Explanation:
According to the Department of Health, any potential hazardous foods must be reheated and cooked to 165°F or above if the food has been sitting out for 2 hours or less. After the food has been reheated, it should be held at 140° until served. This is to keep harmful bacteria from growing in the food.
If foods are allowed to let bacteria grow, people can get food poisoning and this could lead to lawsuits and/or severe sickness in customers.
