Food Safety

Follow these food safety tips from AVA on storing cooked food to reduce the risk of food poisoning from contaminated cooked food:

All cooked food should be refrigerated or frozen within 2 hours after cooking.
Store cooked food in a clean, shallow container.
Use shallow containers and leave sufficient air space around the food to promote rapid and even cooling. Cooked food stored in large, deep containers remain warm for a longer time. Dangerous bacteria may grow in this warm spot which can lead to food poisoning if consumed.
When freezing cooked food, make sure they are wrapped tightly.
Keep your refrigerator uncluttered so that air can circulate and cool food properly.
Do not refreeze frozen food that have been thawed.
As a general rule, do not keep cooked food for more than 4 days.
