So how long will that food last? Not that long, says food education specialist Jillian Hicks with the Marion County Public Health Department in Indianapolis. âFood in refrigerators should be safe as long as the power is out no more than about four to six hours,â she says. If the powerâs out more than four hours, use a food thermometer to measure each itemâs temperature.
But, the refrigerator will only keep food safely cold for about four hours if unopened during a power outage, according to the USDA. A full freezer will hold the temperature for about 48 hours if full (24 hours of half full), the USDA says. Generally, if the temperature in the thermometer in the freezer reads 40 degrees Fahrenheit or below, the food is safe and can be refrozen, according to the USDA.
