Gastroenterologist Anastasia Timoshchenko does not recommend storing holiday dishes in the refrigerator.
Long-term storage of prepared food increases the risk of its rapid spoilage and food poisoning.
Pre-prepared ingredients for the salad should be mixed and dressed on the day of consumption, the Izvestia article emphasizes.
It is absolutely forbidden to eat ready-made holiday dishes for weeks.
It is better to check the expiration dates and storage periods of various dishes against the recommendations of SanPiN.
Also, according to gastroenterologist and nutritionist Elvira Beleva, eating expired products is dangerous to health.
Food stored incorrectly can cause negative consequences.
Nutritionist Lyudmila Mykityuk advises storing ready-made Olivier salad in the refrigerator at a temperature of 2–4 degrees for no longer than 24 hours.
At room temperature, the popular salad can be stored for no more than five hours. This means that in the morning it is no longer suitable for consumption.
Dishes with an expired shelf life cannot be finished.
Salads are dressed immediately before serving. An undressed dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days.
