3. The fact that the internal temperatures could be affected by such factors as the location of

Tips for keeping food perfect in the Fridge
Take extra care with meat and fish: cooked meats should always be stored on a shelf above raw
meats to avoid bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats on a plate which is large enough to collect juices
and cover it with cling film or foil.
Leave space around food: this allows cold air to circulate around the Fridge, ensuring all parts of the
Fridge are kept cool.
Wrap up food!: to prevent transfer of flavors and drying out, food should be separately packed or
covered. Fruit and vegetables need not be wrapped.
Pre-cooked food should be cooled properly: allow pre-cooked food to cool down before placing in
the Fridge. This will help to stop the internal temperature of the Fridge from rising.
Shut the door!: to prevent cold air escaping, try to limit the number of times you open the door.
When retuning from shopping, sort foods to be kept in your Fridge before opening the door. Only
open the door to put food in or take it out.
