Have you ever wondered why buffets don’t let you take food for leftovers? Or better yet, have you ever noticed? Buffet trays aren’t hot enough to kill all bacteria, which can become dangerous if they sit out unrefrigerated.
Most professional catering restaurants follow strict food safety guidelines in order to prevent any possible food-provoked illness, but buffets aren’t so strictly controlled. If you’re hosting a buffet-style party, make sure you never add fresh food to an already-filled serving dish and don’t forget to discard perishables left out at room temperature for more than two hours. It’s best for you and your guests.
