The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has warned that pe-prepared meals should be kept covered when stored in the fridge to avoid a risk of cross-contamination.

Earlier this week, Tánaiste Leo Varadkar shared a picture of a selection of pre-cooked meals in his fridge, most of which were stored in plastic storage containers without lids.
