Leftover food tips

It is necessary to have a basic understanding of food handling and storage of leftover foods in order to avoid food poisoning later.


  • Proper refrigeration is essential for foods leftover. Consuming spoilt food can result in disaster. Beware that food gets spoiled before it looks, smells or tastes bad. Therefore use a refrigerator thermometer to ensure proper storage below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • For a safe and tasty meal, it is desirable to reheat the leftover to 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

  • Follow the golden rule on reheating. It should be done once and once only. A cooked item that is reheated for more than once can harbor bacteria which could make one seriously ill.

  • Make sure that reheated dishes are cooked right through and served piping hot.

  • In case of restaurant leftovers, refrigerate within two hours of eating the meal. It is also recommended to label the date of restaurant leftovers as these should be consumed within three to four days.
