Think food safety first! Keep in mind, that safe food-handling procedures should be followed once your meal leaves the dining facility. The dining center cannot be responsible for food-borne illnesses due to improper handling occurring after food has left the facility. If you do not plan to consume your meal within an hour, we suggest you open the styrofoam lid and refrigerate the meal. Please ask any of the dining center management staff if you have questions about how to handle food safely.
