Throw away the good fish, which is why? Because it just passed shelf life. I am desperate ah! A chef and food writer so exclaimed.
We threw seven million tons of food and beverages (19% of this ratio we buy food), most of which are edible.
According to "cherish against food waste" campaign, each family can save up to 60 pounds a month.
I therefore Sainsbury supermarket executives last week's proposal very identity, we often encounter the phenomenon of ignoring home food validity.
"First smell," Morris said from a supermarket manager.
For just over the shelf life of food can usually be eaten. Common sense with your eyes, nose, hand shortly after to confirm whether the consumption of the food also. About judge whether fresh food still edible, I recommend the following:
tomato
Ripe tomatoes of just over a week or two. The softer the better, the more wrinkles tomatoes!
Unlike most tomato-containing starchy vegetables, a long time the tomatoes become sweet. Not even if the internal fleshy dark orange coloration, but also very good. Only the outward overflow or emit the taste of alcohol to be thrown away.
[Sashimi]
Sliced raw fish, such as cod, salmon and haddock, just keep refrigerated below five degrees, after 4 weeks of fishing still edible.
Safe to eat, but the taste badly. From the sea to catch fish sold in supermarkets need three weeks, because the packaging is not dated, focusing on refrigerated good save.
White fish skin smooth and translucent, no deterioration odor, flesh hard, pressing them flexible.
If the fish meat is dark coloration when pressed inelastic collapse was like, you have rotten taste to throw away.
Lactic acid containing fish spoilage decay emitting a smell of ammonia. If the fish to green, beware of the plague.
ice cream
Even ice cream in the freezer, shelf life is very short. This is because of its high fat content, making ice cream, whipped cream can not be completely frozen. It will lose the fresh flavor within three months. If the ice cream, yogurt or cheese coloring darker sour taste in relation to throw away.
sausage
Processed meat shelf life is relatively short. Have a shelf life of one day. Meat during processing to shredding, thus exposing the bacterial environment, Campylobacter, Listeria monocytogenes will be rapid growth even in a refrigerated environment. If the presentation is dry or moldy color throw it. If the sausage or hamburger showing sticky, not smooth and shiny or dark coloration, do not eat.
egg
After five weeks later the eggs to eat, but it is wise to expire after three weeks or still can eat.
To be a test: put your eggs in a glass of water, if it floats up to throw away! Since a long time, into the air through the porous shell inside more. Meanwhile, the water began to evaporate, so the eggs will dry out. If the egg sinks, can be eaten.
Red Lion to see if there stamp on egg cartons, any representative of hens vaccinated salmonella vaccine.
yogurt
I ate yogurt expired two months.
Yogurt production process is lactic acid fermentation process, fresh milk in the thermostat way to save some time can be turned into yogurt.
If you like to see the various colors of the rainbow mildew points yogurt is thrown away. However, if the yogurt clean, fresh, taste good, you can rest assured that food.
If yogurt expired two months, but there is no deterioration of the case, or eat.
beef
Cooked dried beef, five weeks after the taste is good. Sometimes do not pay attention to its expiration, expired a few days of air-dried beef or eat.
But the key for distributing deterioration rotten smell, then red meat gone bad.
Even if there are some moldy place, I take a clean cloth, before cooking, then erase vinegar bacteria, or still eat beef. Hot roasted outer, cooked beef can kill bacteria.
[Flour and spices]
Spices, such as chili powder, pepper expired six months can also edible, label posted on the "steam pasteurization", "chemical gas smoked" or the words "radiation", which were written were sterilized, has put the mites bacteria killed.
Such tiny parasitic insects in dry foods such as flour and spices. You can not see them with the naked eye, but you might see a small pock-like substance to hide them.
Mites spread fungal spores may cause skin rashes and itching, so see the pock-like substance throw away!
chicken
Unlike fish, chicken, chicken spoil faster.
Emitting a smell carrion smell sour or is required to discard, and a good smell the smell of the packaging is not confirmed, but before you do, you want a good rinse in cold water. Usually chicken expired after one to two days do not eat.
Usually chickens were slaughtered and put it in boiling water easily pulled feathers, which also accelerated the rate of bacterial growth. 99% of UK chicken sales in lint after processing. Use hot wax treatment feathers the way, this chicken is safe, relatively long shelf life. Processing method to be optimistic on the label. (Author: Ross Translator: Han via Daily Mail)
