The expert spoke about errors in the storage of products

Mistakes in the organization of food storage can lead to rapid spoilage of food, so it is important to observe the correct "neighborhood" of products in the refrigerator in order to extend their service life. Olga Pastushenko, Röndell's leading brand manager, told Izvestia about this on February 13.

According to the expert, in order to avoid spoilage of food in the refrigerator, it is necessary to observe the commodity "neighborhood". For example, it is important to store ready meals, raw semi-finished products, and products with a strong odor separately from each other.

"To separate products, you can adhere to the principle: ready meals and dry foods are placed on the upper shelves, vegetables, semi—finished products, and wet foods are placed on the lower shelves. Ready-made food and semi-finished products can be stored together, if the latter have not broken the factory packaging. Perishable products — meat, fish — are stored in the freezer in separate packages," she said.

In addition, to preserve freshness, food must be stored in tightly sealed containers. They allow you to create optimal humidity and avoid the absorption of foreign odors by products. In addition, it is useful to mark or label them with the date and shelf life, so as not to violate the shelf life.

Chefs offer guests octopus mortadella, duck jamon, tuna basturma and other interesting items.

"You should not store ready-made food in pots and pans. Salt and acids contained in products can negatively affect the surface of dishes, for example, destroy the protective oxide film on aluminum dishes," she noted.

As Pastushenko emphasizes, products that do not require a special temperature regime — bread, pastries, herbs, spices, cereals — can be placed on open shelves or in cupboards. It is better to put cereals, flour, and sugar not in the original packaging, but in special jars with lids. This way, the products will be stored longer, and the same containers visually organize the space, the specialist concluded.

Therapist, Candidate of Medical Sciences. On February 10, Andrey Kondrakhin named the risks for those who often use ready-to-eat food delivery. According to him, the danger arises if a person consumes calories designed for an active lifestyle, but at the same time spends many hours without movement, for example, at remote work.
