Hello! I'm working with a tight deadline for a reader's digest article on how long food lasts in the fridge without power. Looking to interview a food safety expert to answer these questions:
How long does food last in the fridge without power?
Why do some foods last longer than others e.g. Whole fruits, acids in certain foods, certain types of cheese.
How long do milk, eggs and meat last in the fridge without power? Why?
How long can food last in the freezer without power?
What foods will last in the freezer without power? Which foods will get spoiled faster? Frozen meat will be a big one to address here.
Any visual cues to note as well with any of the frozen foods?
