How long is it safe for Hungryroot deliveries to remain unrefrigerated?

Hungryroot deliveries are designed with perishable food items in mind and typically include insulation and ice packs to keep the contents fresh. It's generally advised that customers bring their Hungryroot deliveries inside and refrigerate them as soon as possible to ensure the quality and safety of the food. Ideally, this should be done within a few hours of delivery. If left unrefrigerated, the safety margin can vary due to external temperatures and specific products included, but it is not recommended to leave perishable food items unrefrigerated for more than two hours, as per USDA guidelines. In cases where outdoor temperatures are above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, that time reduces to just one hour. Hence, promptly refrigerating the delivery helps maintain food safety and quality.
