Storing food in the refrigerator section
34
Coldest area
The coldest area in the refrigerator sec-
tion is directly above the fruit and veg-
etable drawers and at the back.
Use these areas to store all delicate and
highly perishable food, e.g.,
– fish, meat, poultry,
– cold cuts, ready-made meals,
– dishes or baked goods containing
eggs or cream,
– fresh dough, cake mixtures, pizza or
pie dough,
– raw milk cheese and other raw milk
products,
– pre-packed vegetables and other
fresh food whose best-before date
requires storage at a temperature of
at least 39°F (4°C).
Food which is not suitable for
storage in the refrigerator sec-
tion
Not all food is suitable for refrigeration
at temperatures below 41°F (5°C) be-
cause it is sensitive to cold. Depending
on the type of food, the appearance,
consistency, flavor, and/or vitamin con-
tent may be altered if stored at too cold
a temperature.
Foods which are sensitive to cold in-
clude:
– Pineapples, avocados, bananas,
pomegranates, mangoes, melons,
papayas, passion fruit, citrus fruits
such as lemons, oranges, mandarins,
grapefruits
– Fruit (which is not yet ripe)
– Eggplants, cucumbers, potatoes,
peppers, tomatoes, zucchini
– Hard cheeses (e.g., Parmesan)
