Reheat to 145F within 1 hour

Reheat to 165F or hotter within 4 hours

Reheat to 165F or hotter within 2 hours

Reheating refrigerated chili quickly and to the proper temperature is important to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. Reheating to 165F or hotter within 2 hours ensures that the chili reaches a safe temperature to consume. Option A of reheating to 145F within 1 hour may not reach the proper temperature to kill bacteria. Option B of reheating to 165F or hotter within 4 hours gives bacteria more time to grow. Option D of reheating to 135F within 2 hours does not reach the recommended temperature for reheating potentially hazardous foods. Therefore, C is the best choice for reheating refrigerated chili to ensure it is safe to eat.
