How long can pork be stored in the refrigerator?
Ms. Zhang, from Henan, lives in the countryside, and because her family's economic situation is not particularly optimistic, Ms. Zhang has developed the habit of being diligent and thrifty.
The price of pork has dropped some time ago, and she is worried about the price of pork, so Ms. Zhang bought a lot of pork and put it in the refrigerator.
Once a relative from other places came to visit, Ms. Zhang took out a lot of ingredients stored in the refrigerator to cook, maybe the adult's physique is better and does not have much effect, but a 6-year-old child suffered, after eating, in the evening there was vomiting and diarrhea.
Later, they were sent to the hospital for relevant examinations and treatment, only to be told that they had food poisoning, and the doctor asked them about their diet and learned that they had eaten food that had been frozen for a long time.
Although pork is very suitable for storage in the refrigerator, if there are many types of food stored in the refrigerator, then there may be cross-infection of bacteria and viruses, and it is not recommended to continue to eat pork in the refrigerator for a long time, which may lead to a decrease in the taste of pork over time, and nutrients will also be lost.
When storing pork in the refrigerator, if it is placed in the refrigerator, then the pork can generally be stored for two or three days, and it is not recommended to continue to eat after more than 5 days, because this may lead to the deterioration of pork, which will not only cause the loss of nutrients, but also produce harmful bacteria, if you continue to eat, the consequences are very serious, not only will cause food poisoning, but also may seriously harm the operation of gastrointestinal function.

Of course, there is a lot of attention to storing pork in the refrigerator, many people may buy a large piece of pork and store it directly in the refrigerator, but the amount of pork used every time they cook is not so much, so they will take out this large piece of pork and cut a small piece after thawing, and continue to store the rest in the refrigerator, which is not recommended.
Because repeated freezing of pork may accelerate the deterioration of pork, if you want to buy some pork while the pork is cheap and store it in the refrigerator, you can cut the large pieces of pork into small pieces and store them separately, and only take out a small piece each time you eat, which can avoid other pork from being affected, and also help maintain good health.

In addition to the correct use of pork, everyone's usual refrigerator at home should also be used correctly, and many people's refrigerators may have been used since they were purchased and have not been cleaned.
Because the refrigerator is the organ that stores food, all kinds of food are stored in a small space, and the environment of the refrigerator is relatively humid and impermeable, which is likely to leave opportunities for bacteria and viruses.
Therefore, from the perspective of health, it is also necessary to clean the refrigerator correctly, especially those gaps in the refrigerator are more likely to hide dirt and dirt, if you don't know how to clean the refrigerator, then the reproduction rate of the virus is very fast, so often eating this kind of food infected by the virus will inevitably affect people's physical health.
