Question: what is the best temperature for vegetables in the refrigerator?
Answer: The temperature in your refrigerator should be 34°- 40°F (1°-4°C). Pathogenic (disease-carrying) bacteria thrive above 40°F. Below 40°F, spoilage bacteria can still grow on foods - affecting their taste and smell - but they're not generally harmful. If the temperature is too low, vegetables can freeze.
