When reheating food, what temperature should it be heated to?
my answer
Food should be reheated to 70degrees Celcius or 75 degrees celcius and held for 2 minutes.

and how long should this temperature be maintained?

For food safety, the general guideline is that reheated food should reach at least 75°C (some standards say 70°C minimum) and be held at that temperature for around 2 minutes to make sure any harmful bacteria are destroyed. The key point is that it’s not just about hitting the temperature once it needs to be maintained long enough to ensure the food is safe all the way through.

So your answer is pretty much spot‑on; just make sure you mention that the temperature should be held for at least 2 minutes consistently.
