If the food is raw, then it must be kept cold- refrigeration will extend the shelf life from 3 to 5 days, depending on the type of food. Freeze it! this will extend it's edibility by several months. Cook it, refrigerate any unused food promptly. The goal is to cook to kill, or keep it as far below room temperature as possible- the breeding ground is room temp.
