    Storing food in your refrigerator Your refrigerator helps to extend the storage times of fresh perishable foods. The cold temperature slows down the major causes of food spoilage – namely, the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts, and chemical and physical reactions. Fresh food care The quality of food before it is placed in the refrigerator is critical to successful storage.

This is because the growth of bacteria, moulds and yeasts are stopped, and chemical and physical reactions are severely restricted at very low temperatures.
