Storage of fresh food in the refrigerator
Food should always be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed in bags or stored in
airtight containers. This will prevent food from dehydrating and prevent the strong smell
of some foods transferring to milder ones.
To store raw meat wrap in polythene bags or airtight containers and place on the
lowest shelf.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with cooked foods. For safety, only store raw
meat for two or three days. Fruit and vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and
placed in the vegetable/ salad
crisper bin
.
Milk and other liquids should be sealed with lids and placed in the bottle shelf on the
door.
