Food should be stored in a dry location, free from dust and contamination and at least 6 inches off the floor. When the food stored below six inches off the floor it will make the food susceptible to cross-contamination, physical hazards, and rodents.

There are another 6 simple rules for effective and hygienic dry food storage:

1. Food rotation: Label all food and containers.  Keep a handy and readily visible record of the “use by” and “sell by” dates of the received foods and the shelf life in general. The first food in should be the first food out

2.Temperature: Keep the temperature between 50°F and 70°F, to maintain optimal temperature. It is suggested that adequate ventilation should be provided (some air exchange rate is absolutely essential).

3.Humidity: Whenever possible keep the food in the original packaging, otherwise maintain the food in airtight containers to prevent the entry of insect and rodent pests and also to keep out other contaminants. Ideally, storage areas should have a humidity level of 15% or less.

4.Sunlight: Avoid storing foods in direct sunlight.

5.Vermin: doors and windows should be rodent and insect-proofed and kept closed whenever possible.  

6. Size: Ideal size of a storeroom is depend on the food volume and the frequency of deliveries

konichiwa~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. i have been through break-ups before, and they are not easy. each one seems to get a bit harder yet easier. the best thing to do is do the things you enjoy doing the most before you had got in t he relationship. maybe even try and find new and more exciting things to do that will take your mind off of it. and it is no surprise you seem to have a fear to talk to anyone, most people do, it's called "anxiety". most people overcome and conquer their anxiety. just try talking to someone on a video game or go out to a coffee shop and try starting a conversation with a person. that will definitely !

i hope this ! : 3
