Don't Get Friends Sick for the Game
As fans gather for Super parties filled with takeout and game-day favorites.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is urging hosts to keep food safety top of mind to prevent foodborne illness.

Many popular Super Bowl foods — including pizza, chicken wings, hamburger sliders and chili — should not be left out at room temperature for more than two hours, according to the USDA.
The agency warns that foods kept in the "Danger Zone," between 40 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit, can allow bacteria to multiply to unsafe levels and increase the risk of foodborne illness.
Handle takeout and delivery safely
- Use insulated bags if travel time is over an hour.
- Serve food promptly or refrigerate until reheating.
- Keep hot foods at 140°F or above.
- Reheat meat and poultry to 165°F; bring soups and sauces to a boil.
- When microwaving, stir and check for cold spots.
Keep food out of the Danger Zone
- Serve food in small batches so it’s not left out more than two hours.
- Discard perishable food left out for more than 2 hours.
- Keep cold foods at 40°F or below and hot foods at 140°F or above.
