Raw meat should be refrigerated as soon as possible. It shouldn't be out of the cold for over an hour or so. Cooked meat should be removed from the bone and refrigerated within two hours.
Cooked pork should not be at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Less time is better. Once the meat has cooled to 135°F, it should be cooled further to 70°F within two hours. Another 4 hours is permitted to have it cool to 40°F.

Thawed poultry should be good for 1 to 2 days refrigerated. It's best to cook it as soon as possible to avoid contamination and possible illness.
