Answer: Products that require temperature control to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, for example dairy products, must be kept at or below 8°c, subject to certain tolerance periods and a general requirement to maintain food at a safe temperature.

However, be aware that cheap devices are not particularly accurate.
