Power cut and food

4 replies

Notfeelinggreattoday · 09/09/2020 14:05

We had a brief power cut whilst i was out jus ds 17 here
Do you think my fridge food will be safe , i have fresh meat and fish and some processed meats, milk yogurt drinks etc in there
It was off for a total of 30 mins
I came home couple hrs after and everything feels cold but i have no idea of temp it is set ar 3 degrees on panel but again even when i clean fridge with door open this doesnt normally change so not sure if it is a current display temp or just one to show what it is set at
I know freezer stuff will be fine , just fridge things ??

They’ll be fine after only 30 minutes.

For 30 mins if the fridge door was shut should be absolutely fine. It can take us 30 mins to get from a supermarket so food would be out of the fridge

Absolutely fine. Our power was out for 6hrs a few months back- fridge and freezer were fine. (We were rather cold though since it was midwinter)

30 min is no issue. especially if the fridge was closed for most of that time.
an ordinary fridge can keep food safe cool (under 10 degrees) for a day or longer if not opened very often.
