The food poisoning In our own home they are more common than we think. In the proliferation of these diseases greatly influenced by temperatures of our foodswhich can influence the multiplication of these germsand also the knowledge we have when it comes to keep themwhich can allow us extend the useful life of products that we consume daily in our home.
The way we store our food can also greatly affect this aspect. Each type of product must be stored at a specific temperature and under some different conditionssomething for which refrigerators of our homes are prepared, but not everyone knows about them. And, although we don’t know it, put food at random may have some health risksso we must take into account that each type of food has a defined site within our refrigerator.
Every food has its place in the refrigerator, he has recognized nutritionist Pablo Ojeda. “Depending on how we put things, we will save more or less and it will last more or less,” said the food expert. During one of his interventions in the La Sexta program ‘Más Vale Tarde’, he was in charge of detailing one by one where should we store each food that we acquired when making the purchase.
How to organize our refrigerator to avoid poisoning according to Pablo Ojeda
He first shelf of the refrigerator is “the area that less temperature has» and, therefore, the foods that need the least refrigeration and that are consumed quickly should always be placed there: «It is for dishes that we are going to consume now. Sausages, fresh pasta…and it is better to store them in a container. Once we open it, I expose it to oxygen and refrigerator smells».
With the middle part of the refrigerator We must also be very careful: “Many times we see meat and we put it there, a chocolate and also a fish…. But no, far from it,” the nutrition specialist has recommended. It is best that in this area those products that have closer expiration datehow can they be dairy (cheese, yogurt…), preserves and cans or leftover meals: «They have to be always in sight and distributed according to their expiration date.
Regarding this type of products (tomatoes, preserves or pickles), the nutritionist has recommended that Always avoid cans and use a container instead. to avoid possible food poisoning: «It’s dangerous. Can cause rust and mold. Apart from the smell, microtoxins can make us sick,” he warned.
Be careful with the eggs: they are not placed where we think
Although it is very common to see the egg cups on the refrigerator doorOjeda has warned that this is a very common mistake that we should not make: «The most problematic thing about the egg is that it has a surface is porousvery sensitive to temperature. When I am continually opening and closing, This rise and fall in temperature generates droplets due to condensation».
«Imagine what happens in the egg, if it has any bacteria it can attract it. You are killing the egg», pointed out the nutritionist, who says that instead we should always place them in the top and bottom shelf of the refrigerator.
Where should meat and fish be placed in the refrigerator?
Finally, the food expert has focused on what should be placed in the usual refrigerator drawers: “The meat and the fish They should always go down because it is the most close to the freezerthe freshest part. Ojeda has insisted that these products “They cannot exceed four degrees”as this is when bacteria begin to appear.
In addition, he has advised that if you buy large trays of meat, it is best to roll them in plastic wrap, place the ones you are going to consume on a plate and freeze the rest: «Those that we are going to consume must always be on a platebecause if it thaws and drips it stains everything. “You have to be careful,” concluded the nutritionist.
