At what temperature must milk wash be for it to be considered safe to use?

The safe temperature range for a milk wash is between 33 to 40 degrees. This temperature range is significant for maintaining food safety because milk is a perishable product that can harbor bacteria if not properly cared for. At temperatures below freezing, the milk may not function correctly as a wash, and above 40 degrees, there is an increased risk of bacterial growth, which can compromise food safety and quality. Ensuring that the milk wash is kept within this range effectively minimizes the risk of foodborne illness while maintaining the integrity of the product being prepared.
