The Victorian Government’s Better Health Channel advised that meat and liquids should always be covered and stored away from other items to prevent contamination from bacteria.
Website stated that raw foods should be kept in covered or sealed containers, at the bottom of your fridge.
Keep raw food below the prepared foods to prevent liquids such as juices from meat from dripping and contaminating cooked food.
“Make sure that your food storage containers remain clean and in good order. Only store food.
“Cover them using tight-fitting lids or foil to minimize potential contamination.”
