Detailed explanation-1: -Raw meats should always be stored at the bottom of your fridge to prevent cross-contamination. Ensure that each item is wrapped or in a sealed container so that it doesn’t come into contact with other foods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Raw meat, poultry, and fish must be stored below prepared or ready-to-eat food if stored in the same refrigerator.
Detailed explanation-3: -The bottom shelf, or the meat drawer, is where you should keep your meat. The bottom shelf and meat drawer are the coldest parts of your refrigerator. Raw meat can keep considerable longer here. When meat is on the bottom shelf or in a meat drawer it can’t leak onto lower shelves.
Detailed explanation-4: -Store meat in the bottom of the fridge – the coldest area. This also means that if any juices leak, they won’t run onto other foods. It’s usually best to store the meat in its original packaging. If you open the packet, transfer to an air tight, food safe container.
