Actually that is
2 Hours, maximum total time to allow food to cool down
to 40°.
And if the outdoor temperature is 90° or higher. The cool down time is
shortened to
1 Hour.
The FDA recommends that any food left out longer than TWO hours should
be thrown away....again that is shortened to ONE Hour if Temperatures
are above 90 °.
