Weekend dinner and a movie night! While relaxing and enjoying your night out, don’t let your guard down when it comes to food safety.
Your food can get contaminated anywhere – no matter who prepares the meal or where you eat it. And leftovers are only safe for 2 hours at room temperature and won’t last through a movie.
The time has come to celebrate America’s favorite food – covered with warm gooey cheese and your favorite toppings – encased in a sturdy crust. That’s right – October is National Pizza Month!
It is also a perfect time to practice safe food principles when it comes to leftovers – because by leaving your pizza out at room temperature too long – increases your risk of a foodborne illness.
Use the hashtag #NationalPizzaMonth all month on social media – to find pizza deals!
Dinner and a movie date night? Ditch the leftovers, not your date! Remember, leftovers are only safe for 2 hours at room temperature and won’t last through a movie – and only 1 hour if the temperature is over 90°F.
After that time, bacteria growth can occur and cause food illness. Likewise, during warmer months bacteria multiply faster – so keeping food safe is more challenging.
According to the CDC, meals prepared outside of the home are at an increased risk for acquiring foodborne illness. So, it is very important to make some basic food safety observations when eating out.
Food can get contaminated anywhere – so it’s important to observe food safety practices when dining out – no matter who prepares the meal or where you eat it.
