B. You make a large tuna casserole at home and can eat only a small portion. You don't plan to eat at home again until the following week.

Answer 1

The false statement concerning the safe storage of leftovers at home is that you can safely eat leftovers during your lunch break if you packed them in an airtight glass container in the morning.

Step-by-step explanation:

The false statement concerning the safe storage of leftovers at home is A. You cannot safely eat leftovers during your 12:30-1:00 PM lunch break if you packed them in an airtight glass container before you left your apartment at 8:00 AM.

Perishable leftovers should be refrigerated as soon as possible. If cooked leftovers are stored at room temperature for more than two hours, they can become unsafe to eat even if reheated. It is important to keep foods meant to be eaten hot hot until served and foods meant to be eaten cold refrigerated until served.

Answer 2

Answer:B. You make a large tuna casserole at home and can eat only a small portion. You don't plan to eat at home again until the following week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The left overs can be kept in refrigerator only for 5 days. The meat dishes can be kept in refrigerator for 3days or must be consumed within 3days.

The tuna fish in casserole form will get spoiled if left for a week. Thus must be consumed within 3 days.
