Little known symbol suggests where potatoes should actually be stored

Who knew that the topic of potatoes could be quite so controversial? However, when a foodie spotted a symbol on the packaging of the staple food and shared it online, a huge debate ensued.

Noticing a symbol that they hadn't spotted before, the purchaser of a bag of potatoes read on, and, after sharing their thoughts on TikTok, so began a debate on where to store vegetables.

Taking to the social media platform, @bethking61 posted a video that revealed how she found instructions to keep her potatoes refrigerated. Zooming in on the corner of her bag of white potatoes, she highlighted a fridge symbol, accompanied by the words: "At home store below 5°C."
