Rebecca Torres, RD
Editor-in-Chief & Food Safety Reviewer
Rebecca Torres, RD is a registered dietitian and the editor-in-chief at Home Storage Guide. Her role is simple: nothing about food safety publishes on this site without her sign-off.
Rebecca holds a bachelor's degree in dietetics and completed her dietetic internship at a university teaching hospital, where she worked on clinical nutrition and foodservice safety. She has since worked as a clinical dietitian and as a food-safety trainer, and she keeps current with USDA FSIS, FDA, and CDC guidance updates.
At Home Storage Guide she reviews every safety-tier page — eggs, poultry, ground meat, seafood, cooked rice, canned foods, canning, and food-safety temperature guides — checking each duration and temperature against the source before it goes live. Every page lists the date she last reviewed it.
Her standing advice, repeated on every safety page: when in doubt, throw it out. The cost of one wasted meal is less than the cost of a foodborne illness.
