How can I store fermented foods safely after they reach the desired stage?
Refrigerate promptly in a clean, suitable container and follow food-specific storage guidance. Label the date, avoid repeated contamination from utensils, and discard if the food develops unexpected signs.
Why it happens
Fermentation may continue after the desired stage, even in a refrigerator. Storage containers, temperature and the food's acidity affect how long quality remains acceptable.
How it works
Cold temperatures slow microbial growth but do not sterilise food. Clean handling and time control help maintain quality and reduce risk.
