The common foods in daily meals such as meat, fish, eggs, and milk have a certain expiry date. Therefore, the use of expired foods will affect health. Let's find out about this issue with WebTech360!
Fresh Meat
Unprocessed red meat and pork should be kept in cooler for up to 5 days and freezer for 4-12 months. But cooked meat should only be stored for 3-4 days in a cool, freezer for 2-3 months. This is because raw meat is contaminated with salmonella, E. coli, and some other harmful bacteria for long periods of time. Cook meat right away when you buy it from the supermarket or market, but if you don't need it, store it in the freezer in the refrigerator for storage.

Chicken
Chicken needs to be handled properly and properly as it is susceptible to infection. Whole chicks contain E. coli bacteria and when they are stored for a period of a few months, the bacteria begin to multiply. This will cause food poisoning when you prepare and eat chicken. Chicken should be processed as soon as possible to ensure its original delicious taste.
To ensure the freshness of the meat, you should prepare it as soon as possible
Shrimp
Shrimp is rich in nutrients and tastes best when fresh. However, processed shrimp is a good condition for bacteria to multiply and grow. Therefore, you should prepare shrimp to be processed before the expiration date. You can check the quality of the shrimp well or not by steaming them.
You should prepare shrimp gently and cook before the expiration date
Fish
Fish is more susceptible to bacterial contamination than meat and should be processed 1-2 days after purchase. As for salmon meat, you should use it immediately when you buy it from the store. If you want to store frozen fish, cover them thoroughly and use them within the right time. Fish is easy to spread bacteria and odors to other foods if it needs to be stored separately.
Please cover them thoroughly before refrigerating them for storage
Egg
Eggs have a long shelf life of about 3-5 weeks after purchase. You can increase the shelf life longer when refrigerated properly. But boiled eggs only store for more than a week. As for products made from eggs, you can still use them for 3-5 days after opening the package.
Eggs usually have a long shelf life
Milk
Although the shelf life of milk is usually indicated on the package, if you leave a carton of milk outside at a warm temperature, it will become sour. Drinking yogurt will cause stomach problems.
Milk can become sour when exposed to warm temperatures
Ham
Ham has a shelf life of 3 to 5 days after opening. And you can store bacon in the refrigerator for 1 week and freezer for 1 month. However, ham is easily contaminated with a bacteria called Listeria. This type of bacteria can multiply in low temperature environments. You need to thoroughly check the cold cuts before eating. If meat is secreting mucus, is viscous or has a bad smell, discard it even if it has not expired.
