United States food code requirements indicate cooked foods that have been cooled, followed by reheating for hot food holding, must be reheated to 165°F (74°C). The temperature of 165°F (74°C) must be maintained for a period of 15 seconds.

Always follow federal and local heal th NOTE : (hygiene) codes for the time and internal

temperature required for reheating products.

In the Uni ted Sta tes, FDA food cod e requi res produc ts such as red meat to rema in in “HO LD” for a spec ified time period. This hold ing time requirem ent is bas ed on th e inter nal pro duct temp erat ure desired for the finished produc t and incl udes the one hour time period while the oven decrea ses from the cooking temperature to the holdi ng tempe ratu re and the produ ct continue s to cook.
