＂Dirty and sloppy＂! Attention Guangdong neighborhood! Don’t put food in the refrigerator like this in summer!
It’s rare to have a holiday, and you don’t help me clean up?
Ok, I’ll clean the refrigerator.
Hey! You can’t throw this away, the soup can last for a long time!
Not this one either! This piece of meat looks fresh. How can it be thrown away?
How can you eat it after so long!
Every summer
Food always goes bad easily.
At this time
The refrigerator can always come in handy.
But it’s not.
Anything can be stuffed into the refrigerator.
Unreasonable storage methods will only
Put the refrigerator for fresh food
Misfortune becomes a Petri dish of bacteria!
In Guangdong, which of the following models is more in line with your "parents’ refrigerator"?
01
I don’t want to throw food away after a long time.
Especially frozen meat for thousands of years!
Food stored for a long time is the most serious and overflowing.For example, meat should not be stored in the refrigerator for more than three months. However, there are always parents who think that the refrigerator has the function of keeping fresh permanently.
No matter what kind of food, as long as a set of plastic bags and plastic films is put on, it is like putting armor on the food, and it can be stored in the refrigerator for ten years and a half. Even if the food is moldy and fuzzy, you still have to occupy a space.
02
Put everything and stuff it to the brim
For the older generation, refrigerators are like"safe"Endless leftovers, unsealed milk, unused seasonings, soup materials … It seems that as long as it is food, everything can be put in full.
In fact, such storage may not realize the effective use of food, but will only occupy the storage space of refrigerator.
03
Food is randomly mixed and stored.
As soon as you open the refrigerator, the messy ingredients are dazzling. Fresh meat and fruit are put together, peeled onions, half of durian, leftovers and leftovers are in close contact with the air, and scattered biscuits on the partition are so chaotic that people feel bad at first sight.
These usage methods are shocking. Obviously, I want to help clean up the refrigerator at home, but I have to take the risk of being cleaned up by my parents.
The above several wrong examples have made these misunderstandings more or less!
Wrong way to store in refrigerator.
(1) food for a long time, far beyond the shelf life.
(2) The food is not sealed and stored, which leads to high risk of cross-contamination, breeding bacteria, accelerating spoilage and even insects.
(3) Vegetables are placed directly in the cold room, which leads to the loss of water and vitamins and aggravates cross-contamination.
(4) The food in the freezer is thawed repeatedly, and the bacteria multiply in large numbers, and the nutrition and flavor are damaged.
⑤ If food is put in the refrigerator after it is cooled, it will easily rot and deteriorate if it is not stored in time.
Need to be reminded that,4℃~60℃Known as food"dangerous temperature zone"Bacteria will multiply in this range. In order to avoid this danger zone, keep hot food above 60 degrees Celsius or store food below 5 degrees Celsius.
Potential health problems of refrigerator

Some people don’t take refrigerator hygiene seriously and think the consequences are not too serious. Even if you eat food contaminated by bacteria, you will have diarrhea at most.
This is really not certain!
Say first.coliformAlthough it is not directly pathogenic, it is used as"indicator bacteria" for evaluating food hygiene quality, directly reflect the sanitary condition of the refrigerator. If the food in the refrigerator is disordered, it will greatly increase the risk rate of food being contaminated by pathogenic bacteria.
Besides, more dangerous pathogenic microorganisms, such asSalmonella, Campylobacter, Escherichia coli and Listeria (common psychrophilic bacteria)Such proliferation will bring the possibility of food poisoning. Most pathogenic bacteria can proliferate to dangerous levels before the food can be perceived to deteriorate, and will not change the smell, taste and appearance of food.
rightPregnant women, the elderly, children, patients with immune system diseasesGenerally speaking, it is no laughing matter.
If you eat food infected by bacteria by mistake, the common symptoms of food poisoning may includeFever, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, more serious consequences can appear in the risk group (such asAbortion of pregnant women）。
It’s summer now.
If you still use the refrigerator to store food like this.
There will be endless troubles!
How can we use the refrigerator scientifically?
01

The refrigerator is not a safe, and the food put in the refrigerator cannot be stored for a long time.Break up regularly and avoid eating rotten food.If we don’t pay attention to cleaning up the damaged food, in the long run, it is likely to lead to food-borne pathogen pollution and food-borne diseases.
Therefore, if the food exceeds a certain shelf life, it is recommended to throw it away as soon as possible!
Tips for food preservation
(1) raw and cooked separately, sealed storage.Store food in a fixed area as much as possible, and store food in a sealed way to avoid water loss and cross-contamination between raw and cooked foods.
② Reasonable zoning and orderly storage.Food can be placed reasonably according to the temperature difference inside the refrigerator, such as placing leftovers on the upper layer with relatively stable temperature; The "warm zone" of refrigerator door can store "anti-tossing" food such as juice and seasoning; When preserving fruits and vegetables, don’t be too full, pay attention to leaving enough "breathing" space and so on.

③ The leftovers should be sealed and stored in a fresh-keeping box or bag for the first time.Before the temperature is not lower than 60℃ (it feels hot but will not burn), put it in the refrigerator for refrigeration or frozen preservation.

periodic cleaning
Empty the power off on time every month and "wash and bathe" the refrigerator, which can not only remove the odor, but also disinfect and sterilize.
Steps to clean the refrigerator
(1) empty the refrigerator freezer, power back to room temperature, dry the internal water.
② The inner surface can be wiped and disinfected with 2000mg/L quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant for 30min, and then wiped with clean water; Or wipe and disinfect with 75% alcohol twice.
③ Wipe and disinfect the external surface with 1000mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectant (such as 84 disinfectant) for 30min, and then wipe it with clean water.
(4) after cleaning, open the refrigerator door for ventilation until it is clean without water droplets. If conditions permit, it is best to clean it once a month.
It should be noted that,The rubber strip of refrigerator door is easy to be polluted, so it is recommended to wipe it carefully with cotton swab dipped in alcohol. The refrigerator handle is also a bacteria hiding place, so be careful to clean it frequently.
