Having a used butter knife in the refrigerator is very unhygienic. It can easily become a bacterial trap, something that Anna Vikström, Expert at Hygienepassi.fi, explains to EPN.
– I really recommend that you replace it to a reindeer every time, because of course the microbes grow more slowly in the refrigerator, but they still do not stop growing completely, she says to News channel and continues:
– In addition, dirt is transferred from your hands to the knife, and it can also stick bread crumbs which are a good breeding ground for microbes.
She further explains that the microbes on the butter knife can lead to food poisoning. It is particularly high risk for listeria bacteria, which are happy in cold.
