Cream solves everything: how to choose a fresh cake and not poison yourself

A cake or cake is a familiar treat for a holiday or just for tea. But even a favorite dessert can cause stomach problems if it was improperly stored or sold in violation of the temperature regime.

Rospotrebnadzor in the Kaliningrad region reminded how to choose a fresh cake and properly store it at home.

It is better to buy cakes and cakes in shops where they stand in refrigerated windows. The packaging should be whole and closed, and the dessert itself - without damage and traces of what it has melted.

Be sure to check the date of manufacture and expiration date. If they are erased, poorly readable or look corrected, it is better to refuse the purchase.

The package must also indicate the composition, manufacturer, weight of the product and storage conditions. This is especially important for allergies: the composition can be milk, eggs, nuts and other allergens.

Cakes and cakes have a lot of sugar and fat. If you eat them too often and in large portions, it can lead to weight gain and dental problems.

In addition, cream and cream are a good medium for the reproduction of harmful bacteria. If the dessert is kept warm for a long time or not transported correctly, it can cause food poisoning.

Cream cakes and cakes should be kept in the refrigerator at a temperature of +2 to +6 ° C. Shelf life depends on the composition: products without cream can be stored for up to 72 hours, with cream or protein-beaten cream - up to 36 hours, and some desserts with custard or whipped cream - only a few hours.

The exact date is always indicated on the package. If it's over, it's best to throw away dessert, even if it looks and smells normal.

Do not leave the cake in the sun and do not store it next to raw meat and fish.
