Samsung Home Appliances Offers Tips to Keep Foods Fresher, Longer

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J.--The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s new 2011 dietary guidelines aim to change the way Americans eat by calling for more fresh produce, lean meats and fish. However, busy families may have trouble keeping perishable foods fresh given that the average American family throws out more than $85 a month in wasted groceries, according to Samsung Home Appliances research. Fortunately, food freshness begins with an organized refrigerator.

“We know busy families are strapped for time so Samsung designs refrigerator features to help keep families organized and foods like produce fresher, longer,” said James Politeski, senior vice president of Home Appliance Sales and Marketing, Samsung Electronics America. “We strive to keep families eating healthier by creating food storage solutions that save time and money.”
