how long can things stay in the fridge with the power out
Refrigerated food should be safe as long as the power was out for no more than 4 hours and the refrigerator door was kept shut. Discard any perishable food (such as meat, poultry, fish, eggs, or leftovers) that has been at temperatures above 40Â° F for 2 hours or more (or 1 hour if temperatures are above 90Âº F).
