Biologists talked about the rules for storing meat in the refrigerator, which will help keep its taste and quality, writes Eat This, Not That!
According to experts from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), meat can carry a serious danger, so it is very important to follow the rules for storing it. Experts advised to store already cooked meat only in cut form. “Large cuts of meat, such as a roast or a whole turkey, should be divided into small portions for cooling,” they warned.
Experts advise leaving cooked meat in the refrigerator at a temperature no higher than four degrees. It should be put in the refrigerator for two hours. If the food has already lain in a warm car or under the sun, it should be cooled for an hour or thrown away.
“This is done in order to prevent the development of bacteria when it enters these products,” the experts said. Otherwise, the use of these products threatens serious diseases. “E. coli and salmonella are two common types of bacteria found in meat. If someone ate meat contaminated with any of them, they could develop food poisoning,” they said.
For example, E. coli can cause severe illnesses such as diarrhea, urinary tract infections, respiratory illnesses, and bloodstream infections. Scientists put an end to the dispute about the shelf life of meat in the refrigerator. “Cooked bacon or sausage can be safely stored in the refrigerator at four degrees or below for one week. Beef or poultry – only three or four days, ”experts called the maximum terms.
Earlier, dietitian Elena Chedia advised eating broiler chicken meat with high cholesterol.
