FOOD STORAGE GUIDE
Storing Fresh Food
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to
ensure freshness.
Butter or margarine
Store opened butter in a covered dish or in a closed
compartment. When storing a larger quantity, wrap in
freezer packing and freeze.
Cheese
Store in original packaging until you are ready to use it.
Once opened, tightly rewrap with plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.
Milk
Clean the carton. For best storage, place on an interior
shelf, not in the door.
Eggs
Store in original carton or in the egg compartment.
Fruit
Wash and let dry; store in plastic bags in the refrigerator.
Do not wash or pit berries until you are ready to eat them.
Berries should be selected and kept in their original
packaging (if there is any) or in a paper bag closed
halfway and set on a shelf.
Leafy vegetables
Remove original packaging and trim any dirty or discolored
parts. Wash in cold water and drain. Place in a plastic bag
or plastic container and store in the crisper.
Vegetables with skins (carrots,peppers)
Place in bags or plastic containers inside the crisper.
Fish
Chef fresh
Store any meat in original airtight, moisture-proof
packaging. Rewrap if necessary.
Leftovers
Cover leftovers with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Plastic
containers with airtight lids can also be used.
Consume fish or seafood the same day purchased.
