During Christmas dinner and reheated from ChristmasThousands of Mexican men and women sample traditional dishes of these dates as is Romeritosthat codthat Turkeythat foot or until Apple salad. But these foods date best before, a study has found.

In 2018, scientists from Coventry UniversityUnited Kingdom, published an article about how long processed foods last Christmas without affecting public health. The researchers accounted for dishes made with turkey, pickles, dairy products (such as cheese), wine, and others.

How many days of overheating last without hurting you?

Rewarming has the best date before three daysaccording to a study conducted by Coventry University and published in Conversation. This is because most of the food used for Christmas dinner lasts a long time, even if stored in the refrigerator.

In the case of turkey, experts recommend reheating the meat only once, as this can promote appearance bacteria and toxins. The stuffing she normally carries with her will last up to four days in the fridge, as long as there are no pickles (like sausages) or dairy products, as that time will be reduced to just three days.

Meats such as pork or chicken should be wrapped in aluminum foil, preferably refrigerated and consumed within the next three days. In the case of drinks, such as wine, they will only lose their taste and aroma if not properly closed or stored, warn researchers like Duane Mellor, Lisa Winnall, and Claire D. Munialo.

Can the Christmas reheat last into the New Year?

Patricia Quevedo Garza, researcher at the School of Public Health and Nutrition at the Autonomous University of Nuevo León (UANL), it is recommended to cool the food when it will be consumed the next day, “but if you want to reheat four days after the food is prepared, it’s best to freeze it”he commented.

However, specialists emphasize it Microorganisms tend to multiply in foods rich in protein, like turkey; At room temperature, bacteria reproduce every 15 minutes. He added, people must be careful when buying these products, such as not leaving them in the trunk or in the open air for a long time, which accelerates decay.

National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) recommends that products for dinner (and subsequent warm-ups) should always be fresh, as this reduces the “energy, fat and sugar” load. Combined with alcohol consumption in moderation to avoid damage to health.
