How To Keep Your Fridge Safe For Food?

  • Maintain a safe temperature range within the fridge at 4 ºC (40 ºF) and below because though it will not kill bacteria at least it will retard bacterial growth.
  • The freezer should be maintained at -18 ºC (0 ºF) so as to stop bacteria growth altogether. However any bacteria already present will not be killed.
  • Pack cooked leftovers either in a covered container or wrap with cling wrap.
  • Raw meat, poultry and fish must be kept either in a suitable fridge/freezer container or wrapped with cling wrap or placed inside a plastic bag before storage. Do not leave them exposed in the refrigerator.
  • Place cooked leftovers on shelves above the raw foodstuff in case drips from the raw food land onto cooked food stored on lower shelves causing cross contamination.
  • Cooked leftovers should not be kept for more than 2 days.
