Using the refrigerator efficiently

Unpacked meats and vegetables

Unpackaged meat and vegetables should be stored separately. To avoid any microbiological cross-contamination, these foods may only be stored together if they are wrapped.

Protein rich foods

Please note that foods rich in protein deteriorate faster than others. Shellfish, for example, deteriorates faster than fish, and fish deteriorates faster than meat.

Meat

Meat should be stored unwrapped. (Undo wrappings to leave meat loosely covered, and leave containers slightly open). This permits air to circulate around the meat, allowing the surface to dry slightly, which helps to prevent the growth of bacteria. To prevent the risk of bacterial cross-contamination, do not let meat come into direct contact with other foods.
