Tips

Food should be cooled down before being put in the refrigerator?

Myth 2: Put both raw and cooked food in the refrigerator

Listeria monocytogenes is a common foodborne pathogen that can survive even at low temperatures in a refrigerator. If raw and cooked foods are not kept separate in the refrigerator, Listeria contamination can occur, leading to food poisoning. Tips: For your health, never store raw meat in the refrigerator. If you must, remember to seal it and place it separately in the freezer. Always thoroughly cook it before eating.
