What Foods Should You Be Storing On The Top Shelf Of Your Fridge?



  • It's easy to put food into the fridge at random, but there's a correct way to use each section; here are the only foods that should be stored on the top shelf.

The article from Yahoo Lifestyle discusses the optimal use of the top shelf of a refrigerator, which is typically the coldest part due to its proximity to the freezer. It recommends storing items like raw meat, poultry, and seafood on this shelf to prevent bacterial growth, as these foods require temperatures below 40°F (4°C). Additionally, the article suggests placing dairy products such as milk, cheese, and yogurt on the top shelf to maintain their freshness and quality. It also advises against storing condiments, leftovers, or fruits and vegetables on the top shelf, as these items do not require such cold temperatures and could be better preserved elsewhere in the fridge. The piece emphasizes the importance of proper food storage to enhance food safety and reduce waste.
