Shelf life of fresh foods varies depending on how fresh it is when you buy it. To keep your food fresher longer, follow the recommended storage tips.

Vegetables: Wash vegetables in cool water and drain. Store in airtight containers or plastic wrap. Vegetables stay fresh longer in high humidity storage.

Fruits: Wash and dry fresh fruits. Store more aromatic fruits in plastic bags. Most fruits stay fresh longer in low humidity storage.

Prepackaged Meats: Store in original packag- ing. After opening, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Fresh Meats, Fish and Poultry: Remove store wrappings, then rewrap in plastic wrap, foil or waxed paper and refrigerate immediately.

Eggs: Store eggs unwashed in their carton or a portable egg tray. Use within 2 weeks.

Milk, Cream and Cottage Cheese: Keep carton closed. Store on refrigerator shelf and use within 5 days.

Cheese: Store in original packaging until ready to use. After opening, rewrap tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

Leftovers: Let cool and cover tightly with plastic wrap or foil. Airtight plastic containers work well to prevent drying out and odor transfer.

Freezer Storage: Wrap foods in material designed for frozen food storage. The wrap must seal out air and moisture. Do not

refreeze thawed meats.

Ice Cream: The firmness of the ice cream will depend on its cream content. Higher quality ice creams usually have a higher cream content, requiring colder freezer temperatures to maintain their firmness. Soft ice cream is not always an indication of a temperature problem.

Make sure your refrigerator and freezer doors close freely and completely. Overloading will affect temperatures inside the unit. Do not fill your freezer with large quantities of unfrozen foods expecting them to fast freeze. Give the freezer ample time to circulate cold air around unfrozen items before adding additional items.
