With electrical service gone in a large portion of Columbiana County and across the Tri-State area, the advice from state officials concerning food in a refrigerator or freezer is simple: When in doubt, throw it out.
Here are some guidelines on the use of perishable food:
- If power is restored within 48 hours of an outage, there should be no significant problems with foods that were completely frozen prior to the outage.
- Do not open the refrigerator or freezer door unless absolutely necessary.
- You can safely re-freeze some foods if they still have ice crystals or if they have been kept at 40 degrees or lower for no more than two days; perishable foods which have warmed to 40 degrees or higher for two or more hours are probably not fit for re-freezing and should be thrown away.
- Throw away the following foods if they are kept at temperatures of more than 40 degrees for more than two hours: raw or uncooked meat, poultry, seafood, milk, cream, yogurt, soft cheeses, fresh eggs, meat-topped pizza and lunch meat, casseroles, stews or soups, cream filled pastries, mayonnaise and tartar sauce.
- Food that can be kept in a closed refrigerator for up to three days are butter and margarine, fresh fruits and vegetables, dried fruits, hard and processed cheeses, fruit juices.

If your power's been out like much of central Ohio, you could be in for an unpleasant surprise when you open the refrigerator and freezer doors.
According to the American Red Cross, most food in the refrigerator is safe for only two to four hours after the power goes off. After that, most food except certain fruit, margarine, hard cheese and fruit juices have to be tossed unless it's been repacked before then in an ice chest with ice.
There's better news for the freezer. If the door's been kept closed, food will be safe for 24 hours if the freezer is half full and 48 hours if the freezer is full.
Once the power comes back on or it's been off for a day or two, check the temperature of the freezer food
