Besides stuffing, other foods that support the growth of dangerous bacteria include puddings; custard pies; salads made of meat, eggs, or vegetables; cheese pies or quiches; meat pies; pizzas and lasagna.

Refrigerator temperatures of 40°F or lower will slow the growth of bacteria, but not stop it. Temperatures above 40*F will aid the growth of bacteria.
