Power outages occur for many reasons.  The Power Outage in a Food Service Operation fact sheet provides information for food service operators to assess and respond to a power outage event, including temporary alternative procedures during the event, and resuming operations once power has been restored.  The fact sheet also provides guidance on determining which foods should be discarded and which may be saved after a power outage.
