"TOSS IT OR KEEP IT?" FRIDGE ITEMS:

The Dining Diva Molly Fowler

(1) Resealable Qt bx of chicken broth

Can stay in fridge up to 14 days after opening.

(2) Jar of olives-- looks funky on top

Anything that looks questionble, don't take a chance!

(3) Eggs-hairline cracked

There is a chance bacteria could get in, also use before the expiration date.

(4) Moldy Cheddar Cheese

Just cut mold off well within the edges so you don't spead the bacteria.

(5) Ground meat ,1 day after the "sell by" date

You have up to two days after the "sell by" date as long as it hasn't been opened.

(6) Cucumber-feels a bit soft

It has already begun to deteriorate, toss the item into the trash!

(7) Leftover foods

Leftovers should be promptly cooled and refridgerated and consumed within two days.
