Health Tip: Tossing Leftover Food
By LadyLively on December 18, 2014
Leftovers can only last so long before they’re at risk for spoiling.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers these guidelines for storing food:
- Cooked turkey that has been properly refrigerated should be eaten within four days; gravy and stuffing within a day or two.
- Three or four days is best for cooked vegetables and casseroles.
- While cheesecake may last for seven days, fruit and cream pies should be eaten within two to three days.
- No matter how many days it’s been, toss any food that you aren’t sure is safe.
