You should always keep fresh meats away from direct light (bulb) at top of frig., and never on top shelf where heat rises to. Items are always cooler, the lower in the frig. they sit. Never store raw meat above ready-to-eat items, since dripping meat juices could contaminate food that will not be cooked before consumption. The bottom drawer is usually the ideal place to store raw meat.
