JAKARTA - Compulsory utensils in modern kitchens are often considered as guarantors of food freshness. However, who would have thought that behind the cold refrigerators, potential risks were hidden that could actually endanger health.

In this healthy lifestyle guide, VOI is investigating the results of research from WebMD as reported on Tuesday, November 4, which revealed the 13 most 'dangerous' types of food when stored in the refrigerator. Knowing which one is safe and which one should throw away can help you clean your refrigerator and minimize the risk of food poisoning.

Food residues that have been stored for too long or not neatly closed can experience fungal growth, a dangerous microorganism starting point. The WebMD emphasizes that the remaining moldy chili may not be the only thing you should throw away. Tips: Keep the rest of the food in an volatile container and consume it within 23 days.

Condiment containers that have been opened, such as sauce, dressing, or mayons, are prone to air and bacterial contamination, if stored excessively in the refrigerator. Tips: Use it until it runs out in a reasonable period and pay attention to the date best before.

Diriry products that have been open for a long time, such as milk, cream, or soft cheese, have a greater risk of bacterial growth if storage temperatures are not optimal.

Tips: Save milk products at a temperature of 4$C (40$F) and check always smells and textures before consumption.

Raw meat or fish stored on the top shelf or at the refrigerator door can drip and contaminate other foodstuffs, including frequent storage errors.

Tips: Place raw meat or fish on the bottom shelf, in a waterproof container, to prevent contamination.

ready-to-eat foods that have been open for more than a few days such as deli meal, ready-to-eat salads, are not safe to keep for too long, because bacteria can develop hiddenly.

Tips: Pay attention to the opening/wear date and immediately spend it or throw it away if it has passed 2'3 days.

Delays separating fruits/layers that are starting to soft or damaged from those that are still fresh can cause more rapid bacterial spread and damage.

Tips: Conduct weekly checks, remove damaged parts, and keep those that are still good in a special vegetable drawer.

Some foods actually lose quality or are damaged quickly when stored in this refrigerator, including those stated in other articles related to wrong storage.

Tips: Understand your type of food: whether it should be cold or just stored in a cool and dry room temperature.

Maintaining the refrigerator temperature is very important, temperatures above 4 degC (40 degF) can provide space for developing bacteria.

Tips: Use a refrigerator thermometer to ensure the temperature is in the safe range (~14C) and perform regular fermentation.

Organizing food in the refrigerator is not just a 'input and then close' case but a proper storage strategy and routine selection. By paying attention to recommendations from WebMD and good storage practices, you can turn the refrigerator into a safe zone instead of a danger zone. Make every time you open the refrigerator door as a check and update moment for goods, not just taking snacks.
