Maintain hot foods at a holding temperature of 135 or hotter

Method for Reheating Food

Previously cooked food must be rapidly reheated (two hours or less) to an internal temperature of 165°F AND held above 135°F until served. This procedure destroys bacteria that can cause food poisoning and prevents bacteria from growing in the food. 

If food has not reached 165°F within two hours, throw it out!
