According to the CDC and FDA, your refrigerator should never be higher than 40ºF., via reviewed
We tend not to think much about our refrigerator. You put food in and think that it's fine because it feels cold when you open the door. But did you know that the temperature in your fridge is not consistent? Your fridge goes through periods of idling where the temperature creeps upwards. It's during these times that the temperature can reach a point where your food might spoil.
Here at Reviewed, we’ve tested more than 200 refrigerators to find out which ones do the best job keeping your food safe. When we run our tests, we’re not only looking for a refrigerator to reach an appropriate temperature—which will take 24 hours or more—we’re also looking for its ability to remain at the right temperature.
To use, place the thermometer in a cup of water. Why? Your refrigerator measures the temperature of the air around your food, but you want to simulate the temperature inside your foods. Check the thermometer after 24 hours in both the fridge and the freezer. Then, adjust the temperature of each appliance, based on the results.
However, if you're looking for a bare-bones fridge that won't break the bank, we also have a roundup of the Best Refrigerators Under $1,000. The fridges on that list are smaller and have fewer features but our testing shows that they'll keep their cool when put on the correct setting.
