It's time to pitch that pie and turkey, CDC says

Nov. 29--If your fridge is still full of the remnants of your Thanksgiving meal, today is the day to get rid of them. It is officially "National Throw Out Your Leftovers Day."

News Center 7 consumer reporter Rachel Murray is talking to culinary experts to find out the safe ways to handle leftovers and how to keep you and your family safe today on WHIO-TV at 5 p.m.
