how cold should the freezer be
Question: Iâm worried that my freezer isnât cold enough. What is the right temperature for a freezer? Answer: You should keep your freezer temperature at or below 0Â° F, says the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. At that freezer temperature, the growth of harmful bacteria will be halted â indeed, foods that are kept constantly frozen at 0Â°F or lower will keep safe indefinitely, notes the FDA. The best way to find out whether your freezer is cold enough is to use a freezer thermometer.
