Petruccelli L.T.D of North America says; The storm may be gone but the aftermath is here. Determining if the food in your frig & freezer is safe to eat is a step forward. If
you have an appliance thermometer and determine that the interior temperature
of the fridge dropped below 40 degrees F for more than 2 hours, discard any
perishable items in it, including meat, poultry, fish, soft cheeses, eggs,
leftovers and deli items. If food remained at the proper temperature, be
sure to cook raw meats, poultry and eggs thoroughly to kill any foodborne
pathogens that may be on it, advises FDA.
