Refrigerator Storage Time Chart

At Speedy Subzero, we take safety very seriously – especially in the kitchen. While you may think that the biggest hazards come in the form of hot pans and sharp knives, the real danger lies within the food that you eat.

Foodborne illness is a real thing, and it's more prevalent than you would think. According to the Center for Disease Control:

• 48 million Americans get sick from the food they eat.
• 128,000 of them are hospitalized.
• 3,000 people die of foodborne diseases.

These numbers are yearly averages!

One of the biggest reasons that this many people get sick from their food every year is because they unknowingly eat food which has expired. Not everyone is aware of how long certain foods last, which is why Thrillist has created this chart. Take a look to see how long different foods last when stored in the pantry, refrigerator, and freezer.

All of these storage times are under the assumption that your refrigerator is at a safe operating temperature: between 34-39° F. If your refrigerator is warmer than 40°, your food may only last a couple of hours. If your refrigerator is failing to keep a cold temperature, give the refrigeration experts at Speedy Subzero a call!
