To determine the correct minimum temperature to which food items should be reheated for at least 15 seconds, we need to consider standard guidelines for food safety.
1. Review the given temperature options:
- [tex]$150^{\circ} F$[/tex]
- [tex]$155^{\circ} F$[/tex]
- [tex]$165^{\circ} F$[/tex]
- [tex]$170^{\circ} F$[/tex]
2. Identify the temperature specified for safely reheating food.
3. From the available choices, the correct temperature should be matched.
The correct minimum temperature for reheating food items for a minimum of 15 seconds is:
[tex]$165^{\circ} F$[/tex]
Therefore, the food items must be reheated to at least [tex]$165^{\circ} F$[/tex] to ensure they are safe for consumption.
