I have some leftovers in my fridge that are already 5 days old. I'm wondering if they are still
SAFE to eat or if I should discard them. Can someone advise me on the safety of consuming these 5-day-old leftovers?

If it seems unlikely that leftovers will be eaten within this period, immediate freezing is recommended.
