This topic seems to be quite fitting on this rainy day where my Power was out for several hours this morning! When the power goes out in your home, do you know what foods to throw out? Read the latest Kids Eat Right Article to find out!
Avoid foodborne illness with these tips:
- Check the Temperature - 40 degrees to 140 degrees is the "Danger Zone"
- Keep the refrigerator and freezer doors CLOSED.
- If the power is out for longer than 2 hours, follow the guidelines below:
- For the Freezer section: A freezer that is half full will hold food safely for up to 24 hours. A full freezer will hold food safely for 48 hours. Do not open the freezer door if you can avoid it.
- For the Refrigerated section: Pack milk and other dairy products, meat, fish, eggs, gravy, and spoilable leftovers into a cooler surrounded by ice. Inexpensive Styrofoam coolers are fine for this purpose.
