At what temperature can chicken be put in the fridge?
Chicken should be put in the fridge as soon as possible after purchasing it.
The USDA recommends refrigerating chicken at 40°F (4°C) or below.
Here's why:
* Bacteria growth: Bacteria can multiply rapidly at temperatures between 40°F and 140°F (4°C and 60°C). Refrigerating chicken helps slow this growth and keeps it safe to eat.
* Food safety: Storing chicken at the correct temperature significantly reduces the risk of foodborne illnesses.
Important note: Never leave chicken at room temperature for extended periods. It's best to refrigerate it immediately after bringing it home from the store or grocery delivery.
