The Most Dangerous Place in Your Kitchen
The salad drawers are the most infested with bacteria.
The fridge salad draw having seven hundred and fifty level of bacteria is considered to be safe, but recent discovery of killer bugs like E.coli, salmonella and listeria are found and add an average of seven thousand eight hundred and fifty a level bacteria which is per square centimetre. The swabs that were tested had as much as one hundred and twenty nine thousand square centimetre.
The bacteria multiply in warmer weather, the low temperatures in the fridge only inhibits the growth of the bacteria, and with regular cleaning is the answer of keeping it safer.
Regular cleaning of the salad draws should be done separately, the problem occurs if your drawers are never cleaned.
It comes as a surprise when you think of it, the whole purpose of the fridge is to keep food safe and control the chances of bacteria growth, this is a problem.

Never thought of that. I just naturally assumed anything in the refrigerator was good for at least three or four days or a week. I clean mine fairly often but maybe should clean it more. Very good article. Woke me up. Thanks for sharing. Now a question oh wizard of the food world, Why does lettuce go limp and spoil so quickly even in the salad drawer. I buy a head and in 3 days it is all starting to get brown or rusty inside and the outside leaves are useless. I can’t eat a whole head in less time.
