"Not being funny but are all of these particular foods safe to prepare in advance like this? I’ve my doubts about some of the elements here."https://twitter.com/FSAIinfo/status/1582042672763502594 https://twitter.com/FSAIinfo/status/1582042746293866496 In response, the FSAI said that "storing batched cooked or leftover food safely will reduce the risk of possible food poisoning".
"By safely we mean that the food should be stored in the fridge (at between 0-5°C) or freezer (at -18°C or less) within 2 hours of cooking and used within 2-3 days," it added. "Reheat the stored food to 70°C or higher at the core of the food. "It should be very hot and steaming before it is served," it also said, before providing a link to its website for more information.Replying to the FSAI, the same Twitter user who posted the original question asked: "Lids or no lids?". To this, the Irish food safety authority responded: "Generally we recommend that lids are used. "But if there is no risk of cross-contamination from raw foods to cooked or ready-to-eat foods, then it should be safe." https://twitter.com/FSAIinfo/status/1582276030416314369 On Tuesday, meanwhile, Varadkar posted another photo to his Instagram which this time featured food boxes with lids attached, as well as some containing vegetables.
"I'm in trouble with Matt for not doing justice to his meal prep efforts with my photo," the caption on the image read. "For everyone asking, yes we do use lids and have vegetables. Sorry, Matt!"
