Returning Leftovers to the Fridge
When food sits out at room temperature for over 2 hours, illness-causing bacteria can grow rapidly and lead to illness. If the food is left out in temperature above 90 degrees, then 1 hour is long enough for the bacteria to thrive.
The Solution: Toss food that sits out at room temperature for over 2 hours (or if temperatures exceed 90-degrees, for more than 1 hour). If you’re on a road trip or at a picnic, pack perishable food in insulated containers filled with ice or cold packs.
