Resturile refrigerate durează de obicei până la patru zile dacă resturile sunt sigilate și depozitate corect. Pentru cei mai multi oameni, acoperirea unei farfurii cu folie și aruncarea acesteia în frigider este rapidă, modalitate ușoară de a păstra alimente. in orice caz, împachetarea alimentelor într-o foaie de folie de aluminiu este, de asemenea, o modalitate ușoară de a vă expune riscurilor pentru sănătate.
Much like we need air to breathe, bacteria need air to thrive. Some bacteria like staph and Bacillus cereus, which causes foodborne illnesses, produce toxins that aren’t destroyed by high cooking temperatures. When a hot meal is left out at room temperature for more than two hours, the bacteria grow rapidly, according to the Washington State Department of Health.
Using aluminum foil to cover food poses the same risk, since it doesn’t completely seal your food off from the air. “When air is present, that allows the bacteria to grow faster, so you really want to get the right containers and pack things appropriately,” says Lindsay Malone, a registered dietitian at the Cleveland Clinic. “Otherwise, your food isn’t going to last.”
