Storage

• Chill consumable food within 2 hours or 1 hour when the temperature is above 90 °F.

• The refrigerator temperature should be at 40 °F or below and the freezer at 0 °F or below.

• Cook or freeze fresh poultry, fish, ground meats, and variety meats within 2 days; other beef, veal, lamb, or pork, within 3 to 5 days.

• Prevent meat juices from getting onto other food by wrapping Perishable food such as meat and poultry.

Thawing

• Never leave food to thaw on a kitchen counter as this will promote bacterial growth. Thaw instead using the refrigerator, submerging in cold tap water or via the microwave.
