USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service guidance is especially useful for meat and poultry served at holiday meals and buffets. Use a thermometer to check cooked foods and maintain safe hot and cold holding temperatures during service.

Refrigerate leftovers promptly and follow USDA recommendations for storage and reheating.
