Refrigerators in many houses store meat in 4 ways, making sure to cause the most cancer

The refrigerator is a place of storage food ensure safety and freshness, avoid spoilage. However, not every food in the refrigerator is safe.

In general, many housewives make mistakes in the preservation process, causing the food bags to be damaged and unusable. In some cases, they even form toxins that cause disease, even cancer.

1. Storing leftover meat with cling film for too long

Many people believe that using food wrap is completely assured of food safety, especially when stored in the refrigerator.

Food wrapping film, although made of PE plastic, is evaluated for quality, but it should not be abused because there is still a risk of contaminating food and easily producing carcinogens.

In addition, many families have the habit of wrapping leftover cooked meat in the refrigerator and using it many times later. This causes bacteria to multiply faster, which is harmful to health.

2. Re-freeze defrosted food

Every family likes to buy a lot of fresh meat, then freeze it and then defrost it when needed. However, this is a habit that “kills” health and makes food no longer as fresh as before.

When bacteria come out of freezing, they either find ways to multiply and adapt to resist a second freeze, or mutate to adapt to the cold. At this time, the food is both contaminated and does not retain the same taste as before, even causing illness for the whole family.

3. Do not cover the meat when in the refrigerator

This is a common mistake when storing meat in the refrigerator. This not only makes the meat spoil quickly, but also makes them metamorphose, producing odors and harmful substances that affect health.

In addition, not sealing meat in the refrigerator will cause them to be cross-contaminated, spoiled food will spread bacteria to fresh food. Therefore, everyone should wrap and cover food carefully before putting it in the refrigerator.

4. Do not wash fresh meat before freezing

Many people, when bringing meat home, put it all in a bag and then put it in the freezer. This method will lose all the nutrition and taste of the meat.

Not washing the meat also leaves dirt and bacteria attached to the meat, which is not good.
