Fresh Food
• When storing fresh food, which is not prepackaged, be sure to wrap or
store food in airtight and moisture proof material unless otherwise
noted. This will ensure proper shelf life and prevent the transfer of
odors and tastes.
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
• Eggs should be stored in an upright position in their original carton to
maximize shelf life.
• Fruit should be washed and dried then stored in a crisper set for low
humidity. If you do not have humidity controlled crispers place the items
in sealed plastic bags before storing in the crisper.
• Vegetables with skins should be stored in plastic bags or containers and
stored in crisper with low humidity setting.
• Leafy vegetables should be washed and drained and then stored in
plastic bags or containers in crisper with high humidity setting.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the refrigeration.
This will prevent unnecessary energy use.
• Fresh seafood should be used the same day as purchased.

packaging or rewrap as necessary. Follow the suggestions below for
