7 Foods You Should NOT Eat As Leftovers

Seafood

Seafood is a great option when you want to replace red meat, and, as you probably know, fresh fish is super healthy (even if we don’t eat enough), but nothing says food poisoning risk like bad seafood. And according to the FDA, it can go bad pretty easily—bacteria grows quickly on any seafood that isn’t kept between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.

Even the ambient temperature in the room can affect it, so to be safe, don’t let seafood sit on your counter-top more than one hour. And really, unless you want to annoy your co-workers or roommates, you might not want to reheat this in a communal microwave anyway.

P.S.: If you want to reduce food waste and save money, storage bags are the answer. They have FDA certificate, being designed to maintain freshness of food. You can even store beverages due to their upgraded zipper. These storage bags are also reusable and durable, so they can be used many times, no matter what types of food you store inside them.
