Your Fridge May Be an Incubator For Bacteria – Here's How to Prevent It

News


Abstract

The kitchen is often the heart of the home – a place where families gather and meals begin. And at the start of it all? The fridge. This is where we safely store much of our food, and as technology advances, fridges are getting smarter: being able to track inventory, suggest recipes, even displaying the news. But of all their features, temperature remains the most critical. We rely on fridges to keep food fresh, but if the temperature isn't right, they can do the opposite – essentially becoming cosy incubators for bacteria.
