Keep Your Refrigerator Healthy
posted in Handy Tips |Many people take for granted that food and meat are stored in the refrigerator, they
remain fresh and safe for consumption. This is not quite so as food is not stored at the
correct temperture or has remained in the refrigerator for too long. Many people fail to notice
how important is food storage with correct refrigerator temperature. The correct running
temperature is between 0 degree C and 5 degrees C. Above this limit, bacteria starts to
multibly quickily.
One such bacteria is the salmonella, a well known food-poisoning organism. Salmonella is
also found in poultry and eggs and in red meat which are not stored at right temperature
and not cooked thoroughly. When salmonella develops in these meat and consumed, food
poisoning can occur with symptons such as diarrhoea, vomiting, stomach cramps and fever.
Once chilled food is out of the fridge, eat it as quickly as you can. Allow hot food to
cool before putting them. Throw out left food regularly. Do not let ice build up in your
refrigerator, defrost it often. These are some of the tips for a good and healthy refrigerator.
