16 Hidden Hazards That Lurk in Your Home and No One Tells You About

The Fridge

How you organize your fridge has a serious impact on the food in it and on your health. Try using the top shelf for deli and cooked foods, the middle for dairy products, the bottom (the coldest part) for wrapped raw meat and fish to avoid cross-contamination, drawers for vegetables, salad and fruit, and the door shelves (the warmest part) for condiments and jars.

The coldest part of the fridge should be below 5°C. Beware of fridges backed with unsafe, plastic materials that pose a fire risk too.
