解析

Live molluscan shellfish may be received in refrigerated equipment at an ambient air temperature of 45°F or below — a specific allowance recognizing how shellstock is shipped — and must then be cooled to 41°F or below within four hours. Note the two figures are different rules for the same food: 45°F is the AMBIENT limit, while shellstock's INTERNAL temperature may be as high as 50°F on receipt. Requiring 41°F or 32°F ambient is stricter than the Code.
