If your refrigerator is kept shut and only opened briefly to retrieve items and remains below 41 degrees you can store it for up to 7 days. If spoilage occurs after the second day, send it to the bin, food is not bound by time. Temperature, Acidity, Moisture, Time and Oxygen all play important roles in bacterial growth.

However, if your house is like mine, I imagine that your refrigerator door may get left open for up to a couple of minutes at a time. If this is the case, or your refrigerator or food does not maintain 41 degrees or less you should chuck it after 3 days. But again as I said, refrigeration is only one element to food spoilage.

If you have any other food questions ask them here or post them in my forum.
