• Properly storing foods in the fridge or freezer with the correct
temperature settings can help prevent foods from spoiling easily and
thus help prevent food waste. For example, for peeled or cut veggies,
storing them in the fridge (fresh food area) for 2 to 3 days instead of
leaving then out at room temperature can retain their freshness and
keep them from going bad. Meats and seafoods can be stored in the
freezer (-18
°
C) for months without going bad.
The table below contains general guidelines on the storage temperature
in each compartment type (wherever applicable).
