How to Store Meal Prep Food Safely at Home

Proper food storage extends the life and safety of your PlatePoa meals. Here is a practical guide.

Refrigerator Storage

Keep your fridge at 4 degrees or below. Store meals on middle shelves where temperature is most consistent.

Container Tips

Keep meals in their original PlatePoa containers. They are designed for the temperature range from chilling to reheating.

Freezing

For meals you will not eat within 5 days, freeze immediately. Label with the date. Safe for up to 2 weeks at minus 18 degrees.

Reheating Safety

Reheat to 75 degrees throughout. Stir halfway in microwave to eliminate cold spots.

Order your next batch.
