Food packaging is exquisite: one packaging box does not hold multiple dishes
Seeing that affordable Cantonese people love to pack after dinner parties, the Food and Drug Administration of Guangdong Province is here to send a reminder! Although everyone knows how to pack, there are still a lot of details inside.
What kind of dishes don’t you take home?
Vegetables bear the brunt. According to experts from the Food and Drug Administration, vegetables should not be packaged because they are rich in vitamins. Repeated heating will cause rapid loss of vitamins. In addition, repeated heating of vegetables will chemically react the nitrate in them to produce nitrite, which is harmful to the body.
What kind of dish should I eat quickly?
Seafood is rich in protein, and bacteria are especially preferred and should not be kept for a long time; starch-rich foods such as rice cakes are easily parasitized by staphylococci, and it is difficult to kill them even if heated at high temperatures. This kind of food is best eaten within 4 hours . All packaged foods should not be separated from each other, and it is best to eat them within 5-6 hours.
When is the food in the refrigerator?
In addition, there is a little trick after taking the food home, which is to wait for it to cool completely before putting it in the refrigerator. Because the heat brought by the food will cause the condensation of water vapor, the growth rate of mold will be accelerated, which will affect the food storage in the entire refrigerator.
The reporter saw a lot of neighbourhood pictures to save trouble or to save packing boxes, and the rest of the dishes were packed together and taken away. Experts suggest that it is best not to do this. Packed food should be stored separately, and packed food should be separated into clean, airtight containers immediately after returning home. Because the growth rate of microorganisms in different foods is different, storing them separately can effectively inhibit the growth rate of microorganisms while avoiding cross-contamination.
How hot is packed food?
Finally, remember to pack the food back into the pot and reheat it. The food stored in the refrigerator must be returned to the pot for heating after being taken out. The temperature of the refrigerator can only inhibit the growth of bacteria, and cannot completely kill them. If the packaged food is not heated completely before eating, it is easy to have gastrointestinal diseases.
It is worth noting that the temperature of heating food should reach at least 70℃; the heating time of packaged seafood should be controlled at 4 to 5 minutes. Before returning to the pan and heating, you can judge whether the food has deteriorated through your senses. If it feels abnormal, don’t eat it again.
