Bacterial growth is slowed down at below 40F. That's what keeps food fresher longer.

food decomposes because of the micro organisms living on it and these microbes need certain conditions to live and reproduce fast- warmth,dampness and nutrients. when food is put in a fridge the warmth is taken away therefore prolonging-not stopping the decomposing process xxx
