Room Temperature Safety
The 'Danger Zone' for food is between 40°F (4°C) and 140°F (60°C), where bacteria can multiply rapidly to unsafe levels.
Promptly refrigerate avocado paste with milk, sugar, and salt to prevent bacterial growth. Discard any portion that has been left in the danger zone for longer than the recommended time limits.
Safe Handling
