Serving & storage

Assemble and serve promptly. Keep milk, yogurt, cut melon, cooked grains/purees and any other ingredients requiring refrigeration covered at 4°C/40°F or below, following their labels. For these temperature-controlled foods, discard after more than 2 hours out of refrigeration, or 1 hour when ambient temperature exceeds 32°C/90°F. No finished-drink storage life is established here.
