At a time when food prices gradually, but steadily rise, we do not want to throw away a bit of what we bought in the store. It’s logical and also right. On the other hand, it is necessary to pay attention to your own health. So what does it definitely belong to the trash, although we will be sorry for many reasons?
Of course, the food we buy in the store must be healthy. We are careful, we observe information about the batch that are downloaded from the sale for any reason that could be dangerous to our body. This is the right behavior and the body will thank us for such an approach.
Be considerate to yourself
But then comes another time, ie storage of purchased foods in domestic conditions – and here we often break all the rules of consideration for our own organism, which we can only break. But let us also remember that we usually do not consume food ourselves and we can endanger other family members with excessive efforts.
Not a single piece of mold!
Probably it has ever happened to you that you have discovered a small hint of mold on bread or other pastries. It doesn’t matter how your grandmother behaved in such a case, and if after cutting this part the rest cut the family for dinner…
We now know that it is only the tip of an imaginary glacier, which has long since grown into the depths of the whole loaf. Sometimes we will not see the greenish dots, but we know a special characteristic taste that we do not want to feel. Never store such pastries and do not consume.

Beware of “strange” fish
Some foods, according to experts, can be eaten several days after the date of recommended consumption, which is definitely not true of “expired” fish. These, although they are thoroughly wrapped in an undamaged packaging, can contain listerie, ie dangerous bacteria for health. Especially for children, older people and those of us who have a weakened immune system, it is a considerable risk that is unnecessary to undergo. So check the date of consumption when purchasing and do not exceed it even when storing.
Even canned people are not eternal
Have you bought canned food and have them at home for a few months (or years), thinking that nothing can happen to this food? Instead, check all the packaging again and discard all the expired. You are not really interested in health problems caused, for example, which accumulates in spoiling cans. In addition, as soon as the sheet metal contains the shape, it is bloated, or vice versa, you do not need to look for the date of consumption and discard the can, even if it should be edible for another half a year according to the manufacturer.
Jam can be dangerous
You got an excellent jam that you literally love – but after some time, moldy islands appeared on the surface or under the lid. No, even in this case, as with pastries, it is not enough to remove the visibly affected part. Unfortunately, with this goodness, you have to say goodbye immediately, although you would be sorry. It is a health, mold is very likely in the whole content of the glass, but we do not see it yet.
Minced meat is very sensitive to bacteria
“The minced meat smells strange today,” we say, but we still put it in the fridge. We have just made a big mistake, because this difference will not just be just because you have a bad sense of smell today. If the ground (and other) meat smells differently than it is common for it, it becomes unusable immediately.
Washing is a tradition, but in the case of minced meat, first of all, virtually unusable, secondly, it is not a path that would save us from consuming pathogenic bacteria, which will remain after washing for meat. It is also important to realize that in the initial phase of meat attack by bacteria, it may not be a characteristic odor yet, so fresh and seemingly safe meat must always be well cooked.
Store the food with a carefully
What should we never store? There is a lot, but randomly we can mention dairy products that have changed their consistency, have an expired date of consumption or damaged packaging. Do not have mercy with them, even if it will tear the heart. Your and your family’s health is more important. To avoid such losses and remorse for the next time, try to return to smaller purchases with a more frequent frequency. This makes it easier to estimate the amount of food that the family can use in time.
