Marinated meat should not be left out in the open for more than 2 hours. After this time, bacteria can grow, affecting the quality of the food and causing digestive problems.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Nguyen Duy Thinh at the Institute of Biotechnology and Food, Hanoi University of Science and Technology, marinated meat should not be left outside for more than 2 hours. After this time, bacteria are at risk of growing, affecting the quality of the food, and eating it can easily cause digestive diseases.
In case of keeping meat in the refrigerator, it should not be more than 24 hours. If it is too long, the meat may lose its structure and become spoiled.
For regular, unmarinated pork, the storage time in the refrigerator can be longer, about 2-3 days when the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius. For cooked meat, it can be stored for up to 3 days. If left outside, it can only be safe for two hours after the end of the meal. After this period of time, the food is susceptible to bacteria.
When you buy pork, if you don't intend to use it immediately, it's best to store it in the freezer, it can be stored for 4-6 months.
Food should be wrapped in airtight packaging or food storage containers to prevent bacteria from entering, retain moisture, and prevent food from absorbing odors from other foods in the refrigerator.
