Detailed explanation-1: -Always store raw food in sealed or covered containers at the bottom of the fridge. Keep raw foods below cooked foods, to avoid liquid such as meat juices dripping down and contaminating the cooked food.

Detailed explanation-2: -Why is safe meat storage so important? Meat can carry bacteria or become a home for bacteria introduced from around it. As such, it’s essential to inhibit the growth and spread of bacteria on the meat we eat. To do this we cook, refrigerate and freeze our meat.

Detailed explanation-3: -For raw ground meats, poultry, seafood and variety meats (liver, tongue, chitterlings, etc.), refrigerate them only 1 to 2 days before either cooking or freezing. Beef, veal, lamb and pork roasts, steaks and chops may be kept 3 to 5 days.
