The FDA says on their website to keep the refrigerator set below forty degrees Fahrenheit. "Keeping the refrigerator at 40°F or below is important because - unlike most foodborne bacteria - Listeria will grow in the refrigerator, and it will grow faster at refrigerator temperatures above 40°F. And, the longer ready-to-eat, refrigerated foods are stored in the refrigerator, the more time Listeria has to grow. Finally, Listeria can spread from one food to another through spills in the refrigerator. That's why keeping the refrigerator clean is also important!"

What keeps low the temperature in refrigerator?

The temperature in a refrigerator is kept low by a compressor that continuously circulates refrigerant gas through the system. As the refrigerant gas moves through the coils, it absorbs heat from inside the refrigerator, keeping the temperature low. This process is regulated by a thermostat that controls when the compressor turns on and off to maintain the desired temperature.
