HOW LONG YOUR FOOD WILL LAST IN THE FRIDGE DURING A POWER OUTAGE Before a power outage: Put appliance thermometers in your refrigerator and freezer. You can al...so freeze containers of water and gel packs to help keep food cold if the power goes out. Keep your freezer temperature below or at zero degrees Fahrenheit, and you refrigerator at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Make sure you group foods together in the freezer to help food stay colder longer. This includes leftovers, milk, fresh meat and poultry you don’t need right away. During a power outage: Keep refrigerator and freezer doors closed to maintain cold temperatures. According to the FDA, if the doors stay closed, a full freezer will hold its temperature for two days, and one day if it’s half-full. A fridge will keep food safe for four hours. If you plan to eat refrigerated or frozen meat, poultry, fish or eggs at safe temperatures, it is important to make sure they are thoroughly cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature. According to the FDA, this ensures any foodborne bacteria that may be present are destroyed. Once power is restored: If an appliance thermometer was kept in the freezer, check the temperature. If the temperature reads 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below, the food is safe and may be refrozen. If a thermometer was not in the freezer, check each package of food to determine its safety. According to the FDA, you should not rely on appearance or odor. If food still has ice crystals, or is 40 degrees or below, it is safe to refreeze or cook. Refrigerated food should be safe as long as the power was out for no more than 4 hours, and the door was kept shut. Throw away any perishable food that has been at temperatures above 40 degrees for more than two hours. ready.cornwallny.gov Plan. Prepare. Be Informed. #PowerOutage #FoodSafety
