Food Storage

Shelf Storage

  • Store foods in cool cabinets or pantries; away from appliances that produce heat.
  • Check carefully for “best before” or “use before” dates.
  • Many staples and canned foods have relatively long shelf lives, but buy only what you expect to use within the time recommended for each product as indicated on the package.
  • Put your own dates on food packages that are not date coded and use the oldest first.
  • Warm, humid climates shorten the shelf life of foods.
  • Buy packaged food in fresh looking packages.
  • Dusty, dented cans or torn labels may be an indication of old stock and can also be a source of botulism.

Refrigerator Storage

  • Store food in the home refrigerator or in your cooler preferably at temperatures from 34°F – 40°F (1°C – 3°C).
  • Frequent opening of the refrigerator door or cooler lid, especially on warm humid days, raises the temperature of the refrigerator or cooler.
  • Clean the refrigerator and cooler regularly to cut down on food odors.
  • Remove foods that have “gone bad” immediately to prevent spoilage from spreading to other foods.

Freezer Storage

  • The best temperature for frozen food storage is at 0°F to 5°F (-17°C to -15°C).

What to do with Leftovers

  • Follow this rule: If there’s a doubt – throw it out!
  • Divide leftovers into small units and store in shallow containers for quick cooling.
  • Refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking.
  • Reheat leftovers thoroughly to a temperature of 165℉ (73.89℃). Bring soups, sauces and gravies to a rolling boil.
