Accuracy Range for Celsius Scaled Devices: Food temperature measuring devices that are scaled only in Celsius or doubly scaled in Celsius and Fahrenheit must be accurate to within ±1°C over the range of intended use.
Accuracy for Fahrenheit-Scaled Devices: Devices for measuring food temperature that are scaled only in Fahrenheit must be accurate to within ±2°F over the range of intended use.
Measure the internal temperature of food using a digital pocket metal dial or stem indicating a thermometer or thermocouple.
Food thermometer accuracy range
Within 2 to 4 °F.
Most available food thermometers will give an accurate reading within 2 to 4 °F. The reading will only be correct, however, if the thermometer is placed in the proper location in the food.
