2. Do not place meat or fish on top of vegetables

Never place packages containing raw meat or fish on top of vegetables. You want to avoid juices from animal products from spilling on the vegetables.

3. Store meat product at a separate compartment

Supermarket trolleys normally have a small compartment right at the front. Use it exclusively for raw meat and seafood. You can also separate meat and seafood in a bag.

4. Carry an insulated bag

Carry insulated bags to store deep frozen food. Especially the journey home after grocery shopping would be long, keeping deep frozen food in an insulated bag will prevent it from thawing.

5. Check labels

Always check products labels on perishable items and refrigerated food. Choose products with the longest used by dates.
