Monsoon Food Safety: 5 Foods Spoiling Quickly

Monsoon Food Safety: 5 Foods Spoiling Quickly

During the monsoon, some foods spoil faster in the fridge because of humidity and temperature changes.

Cooked rice can get bacteria if not cooled and refrigerated quickly.

Dairy products like milk and cheese spoil faster, so they should be stored in airtight containers.

Leafy greens like spinach can grow fungus if they're wet, so dry them well before refrigerating.

Cut fruits like apples and watermelon can absorb moisture and bacteria, so they should be eaten within a day.

Leftovers like vegetables, dal, and meat should be eaten within 2-3 days and kept in small containers.

Always check for bad smells or colors and keep your fridge clean and cold.
