Pizza Doesn't Need To Be Refrigerated

  • 6 years ago

After cooking food, it's common to put it in the fridge to keep it safe. So what about yesterday’s pizza that’s still sitting in its box on the kitchen counter? The good news is a food safety expert has gone on record saying that day-old cheese pizza is “low risk.” Benjamin Chapman, food safety specialist at North Carolina State University, says that people don’t end up getting sick from unrefrigerated pizza often enough for it to be an issue on public health radar.
