Is that pizza still safe to eat?
How long is that delivery pizza going to stay tasty and safe to eat if left outside? How long if I put it in the fridge? What about fresh bananas?
Just ask stilltasty.com, a new site that tells you when leftovers, fruits, vegetables, and other foods are safe to eat, and for how long.
The site offers three main topics:
- Keep it or toss it? This section is the highlight of the site and offers details of typical shelf life for food divided by categories such as fruits, fish, pasta, diary, etc. For each category the site lists a variety of food and exactly how long they can be kept for, at room temperature, in the refrigerator or in the freezer. And it even gives you tips on the best methods for storing the food.
- Your Questions Answered. This section answers common reader questions on food safety and storage. Does Olive Oil Last Longer if You Store it in the Fridge? I Left Pizza Out Overnight – Is It Still Safe to Eat? Did you know that it’s not safe to thaw meat at room temperature? If you’ve got a particular question that’s not already answered, submit it and StillTasty will answer it.
- Shelf Talk. This section is still in its infancy but discusses topics of best practices for food storage and safety at home.
