5 foods you should never keep in the refrigerator door

Ashopping is the natural step after going to the supermarket, however, this is a process that requires some care. 

According to an EatingWell article, the way you fix food in the fridge is crucial to your safety. 

Then there are 5 food items that should not be stored in the fridge door and why.

1. Milk

Although it may seem like a convenient place to store the milk, the refrigerator door is actually the worst option. 

The higher temperatures favor the proliferation of bacteria, so leaving milk exposed to them – every time the door is opened – increases the likelihood of spoiling. 

Instead, you should keep the milk at the bottom of the refrigerator, where temperatures are lower.

2. Eggs

Although some refrigerators have a special shelf for eggs on the door, this is not the ideal place to fix them. You must first store them on one of the shelves, where the temperature is more constant. 

Eggs should also be kept in their original packaging as it prevents moisture loss and protects eggs from the absorption of odors from other foods.

3. Meat

Whenever you cook red or white meat, it's important to do it safely. Red and poultry meat contain liquids in the packaging, which can contaminate other foods.

Putting them on the fridge door is not a good idea, because they can easily drip. The best thing is to put these foods on one of the shelves in the fridge, well wrapped in paper. 

4. Fruit and vegetables

Vegetables should be kept in their drawers. This place allows a control of the moisture level so that it can create divisions, one for fruit and one for vegetables. 

5. Cheese

Like fruit and vegetables, there is a special place for cheese in the fridge and not at the door. The best thing will be to put them on one of the shelves, the ideal environment for this food

What you can keep in the refrigerator door:

– Sauces (ketchup, mayonnaise, etc.);
– Sodas or water.
