  • Don’t always have time to cook? That’s fine, there are always left overs! Inside Edition wanted to find out just how long leftovers are safe to eat. So we asked Peter DeLucia, the Westchester County assistant health commissioner, for his best advice on fridge staples. DeLucia tested an egg salad from a local mother's fridge, and the results were astounding. After three days, the bacteria in the food had increased by 4,000%. Check out our video to see how other foods fared in the test. #InsideEdition

    In my household there aren't leftovers. You either eat the damn thing or discard it.

    The best way to make sure: Do your best to not have any leftover.

    @Patricia Keith I can't believe people will leave a refrigerated item anywhere on the store. I've seen people who don't bother to go back but at least put it inside another fridge, i.e., impulse soda shopping fridge at the end isle.

    I read it as, how much long bread can you eat. I was confused. And also convinced because the thumbnail is bread.

    egg salad sandwich from a vending machine almost killed me. it was the worst pain ever.

    @uselesscheese2883 4 года назад +1

    This just doesn't make sense. People pack food like sandwiches to work or school, and sometimes wait much longer than 2 hours before eating it, yet they don't get sick!

    Pretty sure they don’t factor in taking it out of the fridge AND the container getting it more exposed
