Came to think about this while eating a store bought chicken curry with rice meal. The packaging had a the expiration date on the 24th, if kept in the fridge. Meanwhile, had I stored leftovers of same food I’d have made myself, it would probably only last a few days in the fridge (especially rice, which is said to expire fast)
Hence I wonder, how do they get the food to last so long? I get it has to have something to do with better hygiene and airtight packaging, but that alone can’t make it last so much longer, right?
