Planning leftover sushi for lunch tomorrow?
Sushi is a high-risk food that can include raw ingredients, so it must be handled carefully.
👀 Check the packaging. If it says ‘consume immediately’, don’t store it - eat it straight away.
If saving sushi for later:
- refrigerate it as soon as possible below 5°C
- for travel, pack it cold in an insulated lunchbox with an ice brick
- throw it out if it has been out of the fridge for more than 4 hours.
💡 If you can’t keep leftover sushi properly chilled, it’s safer to leave it off tomorrow’s lunch menu.

Food businesses use the 2-hour / 4-hour rule to help keep food safe, and you can too.
This rule sets how long ‘potentially hazardous food’ can safely sit in the temperature danger zone (5°C - 60°C), where bacteria can grow quickly.
Potentially hazardous food means it needs to be kept hot or cold to stay safe to eat.

If food has been out of the fridge for…
- less than 2 hours: eat or use it, or put it back in the fridge for later
- 2–4 hours: eat or use it, but don’t put it back in the fridge
- more than 4 hours: throw it out – bacteria may have grown to unsafe levels.
Simple steps can help prevent food poisoning and keep your household safe.

Cooking in bulk saves time, money and reduces waste but those benefits can quickly go to waste.
Safe food handling is key to reducing your risk of food poisoning and getting the most out of your efforts!
- Make sure food reaches at least 60°C in the centre.
- Slow cookers must keep food at 60°C or more until serving.
- Once cooked, divide into small portions for faster cooling.
- Once steaming stops, refrigerate at less than 5°C or freeze.
- Use refrigerated leftovers within 2-3 days – labelling with a date helps you keep track.
