Storing Refrigerated Food

Glass Door Refrigerator Freezer

There is a limit as to how long food can be kept in the fridge. Once the food begins to look or smell bad, it should be thrown out. Result these tips to help keep refrigerated food safe:

Always keep the climatic characteristic in the fridge at 4ºC or 40º F or less to deter bacterial growth. Store eggs in their carton on a shelf, not the door. Keep meat and poultry products in the former packaging. Packaging contains important information, like best before dates, either it was previously frozen, and where the product is from (traceability). Keep your fridge clean to avoid cross-contamination from spilled or spoiled foods Don't let meat or juices of raw meat and poultry drip causing contamination of other foods. Check labels to see if refrigeration after opportunity is required, once a vacuum seal is broken. Refrigerating food reduces growth of organisms which can cause food poisoning. Food is usually safe up to 2 weeks after opening, unless otherwise stated on the label. Do not store food in open metal cans in the refrigerator. Change food to glass or plastic reusable containers.
Storing frozen Food

Keeping food at -18ºC (0º F) stops bacterial growth, but it doesn't kill bacteria already there. Food can be defrosted in the fridge, under cold running water or in the microwave. If you defrost food in the microwave, cook it immediately. Food that is freezer burnt - dry in some spots - is safe to eat but may not taste very good. Do not refreeze food that was frozen then thawed.  If you cook the food when it is thawed, then you may refreeze it.

After you shop, immediately put away food that needs to be refrigerated or frozen.  You'll know where they need to be by remembering which section of the grocery store you bought them in. Is the climatic characteristic of your fridge and freezer cold enough? Fridge should be 4º C (40ºF) or below. Freezer should be -18ºC (0ºF). Don't put too much in either your fridge or freezer. Cool air must circulate freely to keep food properly chilled. Clean them both regularly
Durable Life facts on Food Products

Durable life is the amount of time that an unopened product will keep its wholesomeness, taste and nutritional value when stored under approved conditions. Manufacturers and retailer are responsible for determining the durable life of their food products.  Durable life facts is not a certify of the safety of the product.  Old pancake mix, for instance, can design hazardous mold spores and should be discarded.

It is important to teach kids food safety. The one rule I teach everybody in my family: When in Doubt  - Throw it Out!  It is not worth risking your condition on bad food.
