Fresh Food Storage Information
The fresh food compartment of a refrigerator should be kept „
between 34°-40°F (1°-4°C) with an optimum temperature of
37°F (3°C).
Avoid overcrowding the refrigerator shelves. This reduces
„
the circulation of air around the food and results in uneven
cooling.
Fruits and Vegetables
Storage in the crisper drawers traps humidity to help preserve „
the fruit and vegetable quality for longer time periods.
Sort fruits and vegetables before storage and use bruised or
„
soft items first. Discard those showing signs of decay.
Always wrap odorous foods such as onions and cabbage so
„
the odor does not transfer to other foods.
While vegetables need a certain amount of humidity to remain
„
fresh, too much humidity can shorten storage times (especially
leafy vegetables). Drain vegetables well before storing.
Wait to wash fresh produce until right before use.
„
Meat and Cheese
Raw meat and poultry should be wrapped securely so leakage „
and contamination of other foods or surfaces does not occur.
Occasionally mold will develop on the surface of hard cheeses
„
(Swiss, Cheddar, Parmesan). In the interest of safety, discard
cheese that is moldy.
Dairy Food
Most dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, sour cream and cottage „
cheese have freshness dates on their cartons for appropriate
length of storage. Store these foods in the original carton and
refrigerate immediately after purchasing and after each use.
