The growth of bacteria slows but does not stop. The food will still spoil but at a much slower rate.

When food is put in the refrigerator all bacteria grow fairly fast?
yes
Will bacteria die if you put your food in the refrigerator?
Most of the bacteria in the refrigerator will have slow growth or stop grow but it will not kill most bacteria. Spoilage bacteria thrive in refrigerator temperatures so the food will still get spoiled and some bacteria even thrive in the freezer.
Do all bacteria have generation time in minutes?
No. Some have a much slower generation time. The environment also has a effect on the rate of growth. If you put a culture in the refrigerator, the growth rate slows down a lot. That is one reason to keep food cold.
How do you tell the difference between bacteria cells and food cells?
If you put iodine on the cell it will turn blue and the bacteria cell will be the same color as before.

What happens to bacteria in a refrigerator?
they become unable to multiply. unlike humans, all bacteria are different and have varied temperatures at which they function best. just think of food in general--while putting your food in the fridge can limit the growth of bacteria for a short period of time (that's why we put food in the fridge), it will not prevent some bacteria from eventually growing (which is why food spoils even when it is kept in the fridge). even in extremely low temperatures (like the freezer), some bacteria will be able to grow--it all depends on the temperatures at which the bacteria function best.
Does bad bacteria grow on food if put in refrigerator hot?
It could. But that's a big what-if. Bacteria need certain temperature to grow. And while hot food in a fridge will become that temp. it will only be there for several minutes tops. Also bacteria hate cold and die when they become to cold. All being said, you can do it safely.
Can uncooked tamales stay out all night?
Absolutely not. Raw or uncooked food should never be out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours. It does not take long for food to be contaminated with germs and bacteria. Even cooked food should not stay out. You let it cool and put it back in the fridge.
Should the food be cold when keeping it in the fridge?
Food must be room temperature before you put it in the refrigerator otherwise it will heat up the other items in the fridge increasing bacteria which could cause food poisoning
Does hot food sour if put in refrigerator too soon?
no
Is it safe to store food in a pot in the refrigerator?
Of course you can. The food in the pot will not cause any harm to your refrigerator as long as the pot has cooled down. It's probably not safe to put the Teflon pot in the refrigerator if it scorching hot. That might not be safe. Mr. Know it all

How do you save half a can of food for later?
I put the rest of food into glass container and put this container to refrigerator. But I do not keep this food for a long time.
How does putting food in the refrigerator get rid of bacteria?
Cooking kills bacteria but not the toxins the bacteria made while growing. Refrigeration does prevent most bacteria but not listeria which can grow in a refrigerator. Botulism is a toxin that does not go away with boiling or cooking.
