How is it possible for condensation to form in sealed packaging, e.g. for cold cuts, raclette, etc., after storage in the refrigerator?

Good morning alfredfischerThe cold cuts, cheese etc. are not packaged dried and contain different amounts of liquid depending on the type, which then condenses on the packaging. Not only heat, but also cold removes moisture from goods. If you were to store the cold cuts without packaging, they would dry out sooner or later. The liquid would then condense on the inside of the fridge. Best regards Frederica
Hello alfredfischer, as Frederica has already mentioned, products such as cold cuts contain a certain amount of water. When the temperature fluctuates, the aggregate state changes and this causes moisture to form in the packaging (condensation) or the product begins to "sweat". Temperature fluctuations can occur, for example, when the product is transported from the store to your home. However, this can already occur beforehand with some products. We also cool some products during transportation and storage that are later left in the store unrefrigerated. Kind regards, Chloe

Hello Alfred Fischer, I can well understand why you are bothered by the condensation. I always repack my cheese in food storage containers so that nothing starts to go moldy. I find this overview very informative: https://www.kitchenfibel.de/frischhaltedosen-test/ LG
