Rancid in context
Here’s a quick guide to eliminating a rancid smell from your fridge:
A rancid smell often indicates that food has spoiled, releasing unpleasant odors that can linger in the fridge. To combat this, start by locating and discarding any expired or spoiled items. These items can be a major source of the rancid odor. Once you’ve removed the offending food, clean the fridge thoroughly. Use a mild detergent and warm water to scrub all surfaces, paying special attention to shelves, drawers, and door seals. After cleaning, leave the fridge door open for a few hours to allow it to air out and dry completely. This will help to dissipate any remaining rancid odors.
