By preventing spoilage, proper food storage not only helps you get the most bang for your buck when buying food but also preserves the quality and nutritional value of the foods you buy. Additionally, safe food storage can aid in preventing harmful bacteria-caused foodborne illnesses.
Fresh, perishable foods should be consumed as soon as possible after being harvested or purchased. Slime on the surface of meat, the fermentation of fruit juices due to yeast growth, and the rancid flavor and smell of fats caused by oxidation are all indications of food spoilage but do not pose a risk to health due to bacteria. Bad bacterial spoilage can be detected by off flavors and odors in food, even in bland foods. Even without these indications, food can still contain a lot of bacteria.
