Foods You Should Never Store In The Fridge

Crackers

While it’s common knowledge that perishable items should be refrigerated to maintain their freshness, crackers seem to defy this rule. So why is it that these crispy snacks can sit out for extended periods without spoiling?

The answer lies in the crackling process itself. Crackers are baked at high temperatures, which removes most of their moisture content. This low moisture level makes them less susceptible to mold growth and spoilage compared to other food products. Additionally, crackers are typically made with ingredients like flour, salt, and oil that have naturally long shelf lives.
