- Refrigerate: Store raw meats, poultry, and seafood on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator to prevent juices from contaminating other foods. Keep them in their original packaging or in a sealed container. - Freeze: For long-term storage, freeze meats and dairy products. Wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and place them in freezer bags or airtight containers. - Dairy: Store dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt in the coldest part of the refrigerator, typically the back of the middle shelf.
