Tips for keeping food perfect in the
Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish: cooked meats
should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats
to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a
plate which is large enough to collect juices and
cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food: this allows cold air to
circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the
Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!: to prevent transfer of flavors and
drying out, food should be separately packed or
covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: allow
pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in the
Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature
of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!: to prevent cold air escaping, try to
limit the number of times you open the door. When
retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your
Fridge before opening the door. Only open the door
to put food in or take it out.

NOTE: Always wrap and store raw meat, poultry and
fish on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the fridge.
This will stop them dripping onto, or touching other
foods. Do not store inflammable gasses or liquids in
