The Kind Of Food You Should Ideally Store On The Top Shelf Of Your Fridge
BY MICHELLE WELSCH
To ensure proper organization of items in your fridge while maintaining health standards and cleanliness, store food items that can be eaten as-is on the top shelf.
Placing pre-prepared foods, like deli meats or leftovers, on the topmost shelf of the fridge ensures they're safe from bacteria hiding on the raw products elsewhere in your fridge.
Additionally, placing foods like peeled carrot sticks or a bowl of fruits on the top shelf ensures these ready-to-eat foods are within your easy reach when hunger pangs strike.
Raw meats should be kept on the lowest shelf, which is nice and cold. This helps to keep food prep safe, as meat won't spoil or contaminate other items when kept in this area.
