The US Food Code recommends that potentially hazardous food be cooled from 140°F to 70°F within 2 hours, then further chilled to 40°F within another 4 hours. So after 2 hours, the food should either be reheated to 165°F or placed in the fridge to cool further.

For short-term storage, the gumbo can go in an airtight plastic container in the refrigerator. Seafood gumbo will last at most three or four days in the refrigerator. Keep the container at the bottom of the refrigerator, where it's coolest.2 Check the thermometer in the refrigerator, and ensure that the temperature is 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below. The freezer should be at least 0 degrees Fahrenheit.3 Freeze your gumbo to store it for longer periods. Put it in a sealable freezer bag, squeeze out the air and seal the bag before placing in the freezer. If you don't need to defrost it all at once, freeze smaller portions in several bags.4 Defrost your gumbo before eating it by transferring it from the freezer to the refrigerator, or letting it sit in a sealed bag in a bowl of cold water. Change the water every half an hour. Reheat your gumbo and eat it immediately after it finishes defrosting.Read more: How to Prevent Gumbo From Spoiling | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_7295611_prevent-gumbo-spoiling.html#ixzz1c9YGHtpD
