Answer 1

The correct temperature for storing meat in a refrigerator to ensure safety and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria is between 1°C and 5°C. Temperatures lower than 0°C would freeze the meat, which is not the desired outcome for an undercounter fridge in a kitchen setting meant for ready-to-use storage. Temperatures above 5°C increase the risk of bacterial growth. Therefore, the fridge thermostat should be set between 1°C and 5°C.
