Worst: Whole Grains
Did you know that whole grains contain oils? They can be found in the grain’s bran and germ and can make them go bad quickly. The same goes for nuts and seeds. While the oils are removed during the processing of grains like white rice, they stay attached to the grain and can make them go bad.

Worst: Jerky
Since beef jerky is preserved with salt and other spices, you’d think it stays fresh for a long time, no? Well, no. The snack, whether it’s chicken, beef, or turkey, has to be refrigerated after opening. Most jerky packages say that it should be eaten within three days of opening and stored in the fridge. Even in the refrigerator, jerky will only last about a week or two. For this reason, you’re better off sticking to smaller packages.
