Meal preparation is a great way to be organised for the week ahead, but when it comes to storing protein in the fridge, shelf life can vary. 🥘

Take a look below, to find out how long they'll last in the fridge.👇

Remember these important tips:
👉 Avoid leaving recently cooked food out for more than 1 hour
👉 Store all meals in the fridge between 0°C and 3°C
👉 Reheat your meals thoroughly to kill most types of food poisoning bacteria
👉 Freeze the meals you know you can't eat within the shelf life period

To help you keep track of your meal expiry, try labelling them with a best before date. 📆
