The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that pigs' lamb and mutton should not be refrigerated for more than 3-5 days, and poultry and aquatic meat should not exceed 1-2 days. If it is necessary to store for a long time or buy a lot, we suggest 'frozen'. ' Storage.
Special attention should be paid to: If it is a meat that has been heated (cooked), it is recommended that it be sealed in a hot container and then refrigerated directly. Do not wait until it cools before putting it in the refrigerator.

2, different storage temperature, need to store in layers.
The location of the refrigerating compartment is different, and its temperature is also different. Generally, the temperature below the refrigerator will be lower than the above, and the depth of the refrigerator will be lower than that near the door.
