Detailed explanation-1: -Refrigerator or freezer storage is necessary for meat, dairy prod-ucts, eggs, and cut fruits and vegetables. Refrigerator and freezer temperatures do not destroy pathogenic or spoilage microorganisms, but freezer temperatures do stop their growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Food that is sitting out for a party or picnic should be chilled after two hours at typical room temperature. If it’s above 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 degrees Celsius) or more, food should not sit out for more than one hour.
Detailed explanation-3: -Within 2 hours of cooking food or after it is removed from an appliance keeping it warm, leftovers must be refrigerated. Throw away all perishable foods that have been left in room temperature for more than 2 hours (1 hour if the temperature is over 90° F, such as at an outdoor picnic during summer).
