Don’t leave Thanksgiving leftovers sitting out.

Perishable food items (meat, dairy, prepared foods, etc.) should not be left at room temperature for more than two hours. Keep hot foods sat or above 60°C (140°F), and refrigerated foods at or below 4°C (40°F) to prevent harmful bacteria from growing.
