Storing fresh food Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and moisture-proof material. This prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the refrigerator. For dated products, check code date to ensure freshness. Leafy vegetables Remove store wrapping and trim or tear off bruised and discolored areas.
Storing frozen food The freezer section is designed for storage of commercially frozen food and for freezing food at home.
