What is a "perishable"?
Perishable refers to food items that are likely to decay or spoil quickly if not properly stored. These include items like fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, meats, and seafood. Perishables are often sensitive to factors such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to air, which can speed up their spoilage. It is important to handle and store perishable foods appropriately to prevent spoilage and ensure food safety.
