The 40°F Rule
Keep refrigerated foods at or below 40°F whenever possible.
Separate Foods
- Raw meat on the bottom.
- Ready-to-eat foods above.
- Keep poultry sealed.
Hand Washing
Wash hands before handling food and after touching raw meat.
Leftovers
Refrigerate promptly. If food has remained unrefrigerated for too long,
discard it rather than taking a chance.
