• Properly storing foods in the fridge or freezer with the correct temperature
settings can help prevent foods from spoiling easily and thus help prevent food
waste. For example, for peeled or cut veggies, storing them in the fridge (fresh
food area) for 2 to 3 days instead of leaving then out at room temperature can
retain their freshness and keep them from going bad. Meats and seafoods can be
stored in the freezer (-18°C) for months without going bad.
The table below contains general guidelines on the storage temperature in each
compartment type (wherever applicable).
