To determine the maximum cold-holding temperature allowed for sliced egg salad sandwiches, we need to compare the given options with the correct maximum temperature allowance.
Based on the provided correct values, the maximum cold-holding temperature for sliced egg salad sandwiches is:
- [tex]\(41 \text{°F}\)[/tex] (which is equivalent to [tex]\(5 \text{°C}\)[/tex])
Now, let's look at the provided options:
a. [tex]\(32 \text{°F} \ (0 \text{°C})\)[/tex]
b. [tex]\(35 \text{°F} \ (2 \text{°C})\)[/tex]
c. [tex]\(38 \text{°F} \ (3 \text{°C})\)[/tex]
d. [tex]\(41 \text{°F} \ (5 \text{°C})\)[/tex]
Among these options, the correct maximum cold-holding temperature is:
d. [tex]\(41 \text{°F} \ (5 \text{°C})\)[/tex]
Thus, the answer is (d) [tex]\(41 \text{°F} \left(5 \text{°C}\right)\)[/tex].
