Why food can go off if it is kept in the fridge for a long time?

Food in general is made of organic matter and when this matter stops receiving nutrient it dies! After death decomposition takes place, this means that bacteria or microbial communities begin to breakdown the matter and eat it. so basically food goes off when it's been dead too long!

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.
What should you do when putting uncooked chicken in the fridge?
Yes, all foods that are to be placed in a fridge should be cooled to room temperature first. The reason for this is that if a large quantity of hot food is placed in the fridge it is possible that it could warm the fridge (and contents) faster than the fridge could cool the food and this would mean that other things in the fridge were not refrigerated properly (and may go bad). Similarly it is best to chill food that is to be frozen in the fridge before placing this in the freezer.
