The foods that we stored in refrigerator should be first in first out, and that we

in the fresh room and before you put in the refrigerator wash it or clean it first to
prevent for being damage/rotten. While the meat and fish should be wash and
drain before stored to prevent bad bacteria and put it into a clean Tupperware.

Refrigerate or freeze perishables right away. Foods that require refrigeration

should be put in the refrigerator as soon as you get them home. Check storage
directions on labels. Many items other than meats, vegetables, and diary products
need to be kept cold. Use ready-to-eat foods as soon as possible. Refrigerated
ready-to-eat foods such as luncheon meats should be used as soon as possible.
Keep foods covered. Stored refrigerated foods in covered containers or sealed
storage bags, and check leftovers daily for spoilage.
