I have a small fridge in my dorm, and I keep pre-prepared meals in it. They’re in airtight glass containers. However, the smell is still really strong. Whenever I open my fridge, I’m nauseated by the smell of food. It’s driving me insane. All of it is really seasoned and has garlic/onion, so I imagine this may be why, but I can’t deal with it much longer.

Any ideas of how I can minimize the smell? I hate feeling like I can’t open my fridge without spraying half a bottle of perfume.
