You put last night’s dal in the fridge, close the door and assume the job is done. A day later, it smells a little strange. The vegetables look soggy, the bread has suspicious spots and that leftover curry suddenly looks like it has been there for a week. So, what happened? Monsoon changes more than the weather outside. Higher humidity and damp conditions can ealso ncourage the growth of bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms, which is why food safety becomes especially important during the rainy season. FSSAI has also recently urged households to pay closer attention to kitchen and food hygiene during monsoon. And yes, your refrigerator helps. But it is not magic.
