- ·Maintain a fridge temperature of 40 degrees or below, and never place bacteria-prone foods like eggs and milk in the door, which is the warmest spot in the refrigerator.
- ·Cook meats and casseroles and reheat leftovers to at least 165 degrees.
- ·Toss leftovers after three to five days.
- ·Sanitize recyclable grocery bags after each use.
