Refrigerate leftovers immediately and throw away if not eaten after 3 to 4 days. Place leftovers in a shallow container. This allows food to cool as quickly as possible. Keep raw foods stored separately from cooked foods. Cook meat, poultry and fish thoroughly .
Poultry is done when no longer pink and juices run clear.
Fish should be cooked until it flakes with a fork. You can purchase an inexpensive meat thermometer at your grocery store. Never eat raw or undercooked eggs or foods that might contain these including cookie dough or homemade mayonnaise. Make sure to heat leftovers through and never mix leftovers with fresh foods. Never use or eat unpasteurized dairy products or juice products such as apple cider.
