[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only use the office fridge for food I’ll eat in 3 days. I bring all my lunches in 3 days early.  That way they’re cold and semi-fresh and I sneak under the radar of the work fridge police who tsk tsk the storage of foods to be eaten that same day.

On a more serious note, I have never read such an inane take. Some foods can go bad in a few hours and need to be kept cold. Not everyone wants to lug ice packs during their commute. Fridge is perfect cool place to store until lunch. Why would anyone care that people put lunches in the fridge?[/quote]

No food is going to actually go bad in a climate controlled office over 4-5 hours. I assume nobody is bringing raw chicken for lunch. if you are that is a whole different conversation.

OTOH some people may just prefer as a taste matter to have their stuff chilled. that’s understandable. [/quote]

I don’t know what to tell you. Your PB&J can survive out of the refrigerator. otherwise all school children would be dead. [/quote]
PB&J is not a perishable food. Your ham sandwich is.[/quote]

Even a ham sandwich is fine for 4 hours. Do you not realize how much sodium is in that shit? [/quote]
Still wrong https://www.fsis.usda.gov/food-safety/safe-food-handling-and-preparation/food-safety-basics/leftovers-and-food-safety

“Cold perishable food, such as chicken salad or a platter of [b]deli meats[/b], should be kept at 40° F or below. When serving food at a buffet, keep food hot in chafing dishes, slow cookers, or warming trays. Keep food cold by nesting dishes in bowls of ice or use small serving trays and replace them often. [b]Discard any cold leftovers that have been left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature[/b] (1 hour when the temperature is above 90 °F).”

(Putting the ham between two slices of bread doesn’t magically make it safer to store at room temp)[/quote]
