ARA) - Has your milk ever hinted of last night’s garlic mashed potatoes? Do your ice cubes ever make your beverages taste funny, or do you frequently throw food away because it smells like something it shouldn’t? American households discard an average of 280 pounds of food a year, in many cases because their foods have been affected by pungent odors; but now there’s a way to prevent it from ever happening again.
The experts at Arm & Hammer’s Good Taste Labs have developed a set of Taste Pyramids that are intended to serve as visual reminders of which foods are most prone to absorb the odors of the transmitting foods around them. Foods on the Taste Transmitters pyramid, in order from lightest to heaviest, include garlic, onions, cheese, spicy foods, pickles and fish. Foods on the Receive Pyramid, in order from least receptive to most receptive, include ice cream, ice, water, yogurt, milk and butter.

“Now that you know which foods are transmitters and which are receivers, you can take steps to prevent foods in your fridge and freezer from being contaminated,” says the Good Taste Lab’s Ray Brown. Arm & Hammer Fridge-n-Freezer baking soda offers three easy steps to keep the food in your fridge tasting like it should:

1) Absorb odors and eliminate foul taste transmitters to help keep food fresh and tasting like it should. Place a box of Arm & Hammer Fridge-n-Freezer Baking Soda in your fridge and freezer. For ultimate efficiency change it every three months.

2) Beware of aging foods and set a regular schedule to clean out old products, leftovers, while keeping tabs on all the expiration dates.

3) Contain the offenders by placing foul taste transmitters in sealed containers. Unsealed containers provide a direct pathway for flavors and odors to take advantage of the open air within your fridge.

The Arm & Hammer Fridge-n-Freezer Taste Pyramids were developed through extensive testing of different food combinations from March 1st through June 30, 2005, by the Research and Development Team at Arm & Hammer Good Taste Labs. Courtesy of ARA Content
