Storing Meat in the Refrigerator
It's important to store meat safely to stop bacteria from spreading and to avoid food poisoning.
You should:
store raw meat and poultry in clean, sealed containers on the bottom shelf of the fridge, so they can't touch or drip onto other food.
follow any storage instructions on the label and don't eat meat after its 'use by' date.
when you have cooked meat and you're not going to eat it straight away, cool it as quickly as possible and then put it in the fridge or freezer.
keep cooked meat separate from raw meat.
