Cleaning out the fridge is one of those boring chores we all hate, yet we all have to do it if we want to eat healthy and safe food. Take a look at our list of things you should throw out of the fridge immediately.
Expired Condiments
We’re all guilty of keeping a bunch of half-used condiments in our fridge for too long, so make sure to check the expiration date every once in a while and get rid of expired condiments.
Leftover Food
Even though you had the best intentions of saving leftover food and eating it the next day, it’s probably best to throw away these leftovers after two or three days.
Food With Mold
This is the most obvious advice, yet lots of people forget or simply ignore rotten food in their fridge. Not only does it smell really bad, but it can also put other food at risk—so make sure to clean your fridge regularly.
Raw Meat
Raw meat can sit in your fridge for two days and eating it after this time can be risky, so it’s best to get rid of the meat that’s been sitting for too long.
Shriveled Produce
All those veggies and fruits you keep in the fridge won’t be fresh for too long, so keep an eye on it and throw away any item that looks shriveled.
