Ensure that the food is of the freshest possible quality to maximize the shelf life of perishable foods.
The following is a general guide to help promote longer food storage.

plastic material e.g. wrap, bags (do not seal) and placed
in the vegetable case to minimize moisture loss.

not be evenly cooled throughout the refrigerator.
