500 Questions

Can you refreeze chicken thats been thawed in water?

User Avatar

Asked by Onyxkaisor

It isn't generally safe to refreeze raw food. This is especially true for chicken, which is contaminated with salmonella at scary-high rates. If the chicken has thawed, it isn't generally safe to refreeze it and eat it later. This is especially true if it is thawed in room-temperature water rather than being thawed in the refrigerator.

Once thawed, the chicken should be cooked fairly quickly. Once cooked, it can then be frozen for later consumption.

How long can defrosted uncooked ground turkey stay in refrigerator before cooking?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Four hours maximum. All foods begin to spoil after being at room temperature for longer than that. The danger zone for food is 4 to 60 degrees and should not be used after it has been in that range for longer than four hours.

Ground turkey is pretty sensitive and should be teeming with bacteria. It should not be unrefrigerated at all - just for the length of time it takes to prep for cooking.

Is chicken cooked Two days ago safe to eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Possibly, if you have handled and stored it properly.

People constantly ask for some type of verification that the food they eat will not make them ill. That is nearly impossible to do without bacteriological and chemical tests, so the best we can do is provide guidelines, like:

* Handle food in a sanitary manner (wash hands, clean & sanitize food-contact surfaces, protect from cross-contamination, package & store properly) * Keep potentially hazardous food out of the temperature danger zone (140°F to 40°F). Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. * Reheat leftover cooked foods thoroughly (to 165°F)

* Use food within a reasonable time Research will give you different answers. Remember that they are only guidelines. In the end, you are responsible for what you feed yourself and your family. This adage is a good one to follow: When in doubt, throw it out.

Is the amount of vitamins or b12 in five hour energy dangerous?

User Avatar

Asked by Kobikooger

Personally, I believe it isn't. Think about it, instant energy? All you would be doing is putting chemicals in your body. Unhealthy. The best thing to do to get energy is get at least 8 hours of sleep at night, and eat healthy, and make sure to drink water (8 glasses a day, which is about 64 ounces).

How long can food sit on a buffet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Potentially hazardous foods that would normally be stored refrigerated should be left at room temperature for no more than 2 hours. Less time is even better.

Places that specialize in buffets can handle this several ways. One is to place the serving containers in refrigerated buffet serving tables and/or on beds of ice. Another is to not put everything out at one time. Refills are kept refrigerated and brought out as needed.

How long can fresh cream cake be unrefrigerated?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Foods that are left out in room temperature for more than an hour can begin bacteria growth. Our stomach acids can kill some of these bacterias but not all and some can make you very sick. Keep foods OUT of the danger zone- Above 40 degrees and Below 140 degrees. Between these temperatures bacteria lives and breeds on our foods.

What does it mean to describe how i would access advice about my own role in maintaining food safety when providing food?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This opens a difficult can of worms.

If you are considering "blowing the whistle" on bad practice where you feel you have done no wrong then, contact your trade union if you have one.

If you feel that you may have contributed to any lack or failure in providing food safety then contact a lawyer! Keep a detailed and timestamped record of everything you think might have done wrong.

If you have made any mistakes or errors in the performance of your job describe them in writing and also show how you may have not been trained sufficiently to avoid them.

However, this does not constitute legal advice.
