tion is directly above the fruit and veg-
etable drawers and at the back.

– 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).
