A new report led by @RMIT's @bhavna_middha with @FoodWasteCRC and @meatlivestock shows inconsistent #fridge temperatures and confusing cold storage advice could be contributing to #meat waste in Aussie households. ❄️🥩 https://t.co/x4G55MsEMG
“When food is too warm, bacteria multiply too fast. When food is too cold, it can freeze or get freezer burn. Both conditions lead to food spoiling,” says Dr Bhavna Middha, the project lead of the RMIT-led report. https://t.co/pmd7CcmGRc
