That is preserving cooked meat in the refrigerator from day to day with food wrap. Most of us think that using food wrap is completely safe about food safety. Especially when kept in the fridge.
However, according to Assoc.Prof.Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh (former lecturer at Institute of Food and Biotechnology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology), food wrapping film – both food wrapping film is produced with PE plastic which is used rated as guaranteed quality – also should not be abused because there is still a risk of contaminating the food. The longer it stays, the more likely it is to produce carcinogens.
Especially families who have a habit of wrapping leftover cooked meat in the refrigerator, using it many times later, not just once.
Pulling it out and then re-wrapping it with food wrap also causes bacteria to multiply faster. At this time, besides the risk of infection, food is also more susceptible to bacteria attack.
“The transparent, soft PE film used to be praised in food safety is still absolutely safe until now, the answer is no.” Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh affirmed.
According to experts, food wrap or plastic in general makes people’s lives more comfortable. However, it also has certain downsides. It is important for consumers to know how to use it wisely.
So, how to properly preserve leftover meat after a meal with cling film?

– Limit the use of food wrap when it is too hot.
– Limit wrapping foods containing a lot of fat because the possibility of plastic contamination of these dishes is very high.
– It is strictly forbidden to wrap food in plastic wrap when roasting meat in the microwave because it greatly increases the possibility of plastic contamination of food, accidentally loaded into the body.
– Minimize the storage of cooked meat as well as leftovers in general in the refrigerator to avoid the production of carcinogens, the risk of cancer as well as a series of chronic diseases in the long run.
Do not regret the leftover meat that can be stored for many days in the refrigerator!

Leftovers also contain the same preservatives as packaged foods to prevent spoilage and contamination. After about 2 hours outside, you should throw it away, do not arbitrarily eat from day to day. When stored in the refrigerator, leftovers should also be consumed within the day, to avoid spreading pathogens to everyone.
According to Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh, the habit of keeping cooked food in general in the refrigerator in any way to avoid waste can also lead to unfortunate consequences. This preservation process can cause food to be contaminated because there are many types of raw and cooked foods in the refrigerator, processed products, semi-processed products, etc. Therefore, it is easy to be cross-contaminated. Not soon getting food poisoning, this eating habit also makes you early to get cancer.

Protein-rich dishes such as meat, If eggs and fish are left for a long time in the refrigerator, they are easy to be penetrated by bacteria,” Thinh added.
