For example, meat and poultry can spend 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator at temperatures of 32 to 39 ° F; above 50 ° F, pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and fungi reproduce. At -0.5 ° F, the growth of microorganisms is inhibited in the freezer, and the food keeps between 3 and 6 months without any problem, they can even reach one year if packaged correctly.
