Raw meat should not be stored on the top shelf of the refrigerator. Any juice from the meat could drip on food below and contaminate it. In any case, storage should not be more than a day or two. All containers should be washed with soap and hot water. You would also want to store the meat in the coldest part of the fridge. That is usually the lowest shelf. Use a refrigerator thermometer to learn the cold and hot spots in your refrigerator.
