Fridge Safety: Experts Say Chicken 1-2 Days, Fish ASAP

• Raw chicken is safe for 1-2 days in the refrigerator; cooked chicken for 3-4 days.
• Raw mutton or lamb can be stored in the fridge for 3-5 days, ideally in airtight packaging.
• Fish should be cooked as soon as possible after purchase or stored briefly in an ice-filled container due to rapid spoilage.
• Signs of spoilage for chicken/mutton include a strange odor, brown color, or slimy appearance.
• Spoiled fish will develop a sour or rancid odor and its skin may become slimy.

Why It Matters: Knowing storage limits prevents spoilage and health risks.
