Baking soda can be placed in the refrigerator, pantry, crisper drawers and freezer to counteract odors. Wash grapes but most other fruits do not need washing before refrigerating. Produce should be wrapped or sealed to prevent absorbing or emitting odors and stored separately in crisper drawers. Use the oldest produce first and avoid storing any for over 10 days to properly rotate perishables and reduce odors in the refrigerator.

Counteract odors by placing boxes of baking soda in the refrigerator, pantry, salad crisper and freezer. Wash grapes to remove any sulfur dioxide residue and aroma. Most other fruits do not need to be washed before refrigerating. Wrap or seal produce in bags or containers, to make it less likely they’ll absorb or emit odors. Store fruits and vegetables separately in crisper drawers. Rotate perishables by using oldest produce first. Avoid storing fresh produce longer than 10 days. Proper storage of odor-absorbing or odor-emitting food items helps reduce off-tastes in foods and unpleasant aromas in your refrigerator.
