Storing food in the fridge
Step 2: The door

Let's take the fridge door from top to bottom:

Did you know that the egg cups in the fridge door isn't necessarily the best place to store eggs? Experts say that eggs should rather remain in their carton on a shelf in the fridge, where it's cooler.

Instead, this space can be used to store medications, like probiotic supplements (if those need to be kept cool), or small bags of nuts and seeds, which also stay freshest when stored in the fridge.

Many fridges have separate compartments where you can store cheese and small jars. It's a good idea to keep all your cheeses together. Just make sure that they're all individually wrapped and airtight. Cheese can give off and absorb odours.

Milk and fruit juice should be kept in the bottom rack of the door. By storing these beverages upright, you will avoid spills that can lead to bacteria build-up.

Storage guidelines:
Product Refrigerator, unopened Refrigerator, opened
Milk see dates 5-7 days
Swiss, brick, processed cheese 2-3 months/date 3-4 weeks
