COVER

Cover all foods before storing, either inside or outside the fridge.

Keep raw meat and poultry covered and away from ready-to-eat cooked products, fruit and vegetables.

Store raw meats and poultry in the bottom of the fridge (to ensure juices don't drip onto other foods).

Always wrap uncooked poultry before you put it in the fridge.

Cover cooked poultry leftovers immediately after they have finished steaming and put them in the refrigerator. Make sure poultry leftovers are not in contact with any other foods, meat or meat juices. Always store cooked poultry in a covered container at the top of the fridge, above raw poultry.
