The rule is that the meat that needs to be cooked to a higher temperature should be on the bottom. If chicken were stored above beef and the chicken leaked onto the beef, the beef might not be cooked to temperatures high enough to kill bacteria normally found in chicken.
Generally, though, you don't want to store seafood where it can leak onto other meat. After all, you don't want your steaks to smell or taste of fish!

They will say that it consists of unprocessed raw vegan foods, that is no meat or fish or dairy foods. However there is no reason why you should not eat raw fish and meat, the Japanese do well eating raw fish. However if you plan to eat raw meat there are some that should be avoided including pork and chicken, because they can contain salmonella which gives you food poisoning.
