  • Refrigerated leftovers are only good for 3-4 days. Throw away those lingering leftovers.
  • Keep your refrigerator at 40ᵒF or below.
  • Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours to reduce your risk of food borne illness.
  • Refrigerate large casseroles or soups in a shallow dish or pan to allow for quicker cooling.
  • Throw away all perishable foods, such as meat, poultry, eggs and casseroles, left at room temperature longer than two hours.
