Two hours and a Florida trunk
FoodSafety.gov’s power-outage chart and USDA leftover guidance use the same clock: perishable food above 40°F for more than 2 hours is the discard line. When the air is above 90°F, that window shrinks to 1 hour. A closed Orlando trunk in July is often that air.
The clock
| Air | Perishable limit | Cite |
|---|---|---|
| Above 40°F, at or under 90°F | 2 hours | FoodSafety.gov 2-hour rule |
| Above 90°F | 1 hour | Same chart |
| At or below 40°F | Keep cold until you unload | Leftovers and Food Safety |
Dairy, meat, eggs, and cut produce ride the clock. Dry goods do not. Put the cold half of the ticket in an insulated bag with ice packs before the trunk lid closes. Hours and membership fees stay on the shop’s own pickup page.
