Food that’s delivered to your doorstep is at risk for being at an unsafe temperature. Here’s what to look for to avoid any foodborne illnesses.
, the only way to gauge whether food is a safe temperature is by measuring it with a food thermometer. As long as an item is below 40 degrees, you’re good to go. But if it’s any higher than that? Toss it.
You don’t necessarily have to throw out the entire kit or grocery bag though. If other items are still at a safe temp and are individually wrapped, you should be okay, Heil says. If you didn’t check your food’s temps and throw it in the fridge anyway, keep a close eye out for any of the above warning signs that your food might not be safe to eat when you’re ready to cook it. And again, if your food came packed in dry ice rather than gel packs, there’s a better chance your food didn’t spoil.The Rutgers and Tennessee State University researchers also interviewed over 1,000 customers and reviewed over 400 food delivery vendor websites in the U.S.
The best way to ensure that your food stays at a safe temperature is to get it into the refrigerator or freezer within two hours of delivery. “Whenever possible, schedule your delivery for a time when you’ll be home so you can bring the food inside immediately,” Heil recommends. “Depending on how warm it is, it should be okay to schedule the delivery within one to two hours of getting home.”When that’s not possible, ask a family member or friend to take the food inside for you.
