Monitoring fridge and freezer temperatures regularly is essential to ensure that foods are never stored in the Temperature Danger Zone (between 4°C / 40°F and 60°C / 140°F). Food that is stored in the Temperature Danger Zone has optimal conditions for bacteria to grow and reproduce, potentially to levels that are harmful to humans.
