    Not just keep them warm! Children are considered like, part of the group that food must be cooked to higher temperatures to keep them safe, like the elderly and the immune compromised. So some foods suck ass when cooked like that! Or so my food manager safety quiz told me. Well it told me about the higher temps. It also told me about turtles carry salmonella and a lot about typhoid mary.

      That really just means they can’t have raw/undercooked meat, the temp to which veggies are cooked and held is unaffected by the age of their intended consumer. Edible raw veggies are more nutritional than cooked for all ages. No one in the food service industry cooks things to different temps based on age, that would make cooking at a restaurant sooooo much more confusing.
