With Christmas behind us, fridges across the UK are brimming with leftover stuffing, turkey, ham and veg.
New research has shown that many of us are not storing the extra trimmings correctly. One chef has revealed that our Christmas leftovers must be eaten to a specific deadline.
According to chef Anna Williams, all extra food should be eaten within three to four days of storing and should be chucked if still in the fridge by New Year's Eve. By this calculation, the absolute last day the festive dishes can be eaten is this Thursday.
