Whole Butter

Answer:

Whole butter, salted or not, is considered a time/temperature control for safety food (TCS). Whole butter needs to be held at 41F or less, 135F or greater, or put it on a timing rule to not exceed 4 hours out of temperature control. This applies to tempering butter for baking as well.
