\u2022Store fruits, vegetables, bread, milk and milk products under refrigeration.
\n\u2022Cook fresh food using fresh material as far as possible. Keep leftover foods to the minimum and store them in the refrigerator. They should be consumed in the next two to three days or else it is better to freeze them.
\n\u2022Make sure the leftovers foods are properly placed in safe, airtight containers that are sized as per the quantity of food. Increase the setting for better cooling in the refrigerator.
\n\u2022Frozen foods should be removed and thawed before using. Read the instructions carefully and use the frozen products accordingly.
\n\u2022Packed foods and drinks often have a limited number of days within which they should be consumed. Read the instructions and follow them properly. For example, if fruit juices or soya milk large tetra packs are to be consumed within 3 to 5 days, stick to their rule.
\n\u2022Throw away the remaining portion if it is not finished in the suggested timeframe as microbial activities may have started in such products.
\n\u2022Clean the refrigerator daily to avoid contamination. Avoid overcrowding and consume refrigerated products as early as possible.
\n\u2022Watch out for puffed packages especially in case of fruit drinks, milk products and soymilk. It is ok to throw away any foods that smell suspicious or different than usual.
\n\u2022Avoid leaving cooked food in the kitchen and particularly in the sun.
\n\u2022Make sure you are aware of the quantity of food to be used for a given meal. If you plan to keep the remaining for the next meal, refrigerate it as soon as it cools down. It is better to separate the part to be stored beforehand and keep in another container to avoid contamination during meals.
\n\u2022Use clean hands and wear a cooking apron while cooking.<\/p>\n
