Detailed explanation-1: -Leftovers can be kept for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. After that, the risk of food poisoning goes up.
Detailed explanation-2: -According to the FDA, leftovers are safe in the fridge for up to three to four days. This means Thanksgiving leftovers should be consumed by Monday. And any food that’s part of the meal prepping you did on Sunday needs to be eaten by Thursday.
Detailed explanation-3: -Freeze leftovers within 3-4 days. Do not refreeze any foods left outside the refrigerator longer than 2 hours; 1 hour in temperatures above 90 °F. If you purchase previously frozen meat, poultry or fish at a retail store, you can refreeze if it has been handled properly.
