TCS (Time/Temperature Control for Safety) food can be safely kept in the refrigerator for 3 to 7 days, depending on the type of food and storage conditions. It’s important to maintain a temperature of 41°F (5°C) or below to inhibit bacterial growth. Always check for signs of spoilage before consuming, and follow the "first in, first out" principle when using stored food. For longer storage, consider freezing the food to extend its shelf life.
