How should you store raw meat, poultry, and seafood in the refrigerator?
Together to save space
Using color-coded containers
Separately from each other
Above cooked food
The correct answer is: Separately from each other
Raw meat, poultry, and seafood should be stored separately from each other in the refrigerator to avoid the risk of cross-contamination. Placing them together or above cooked food can potentially transfer harmful bacteria to other foods, causing foodborne illness. It is also important to use color-coded containers and to properly seal and label them to keep these items separate and easily identifiable in the fridge.
