Just read a study that found 70% of home cooks don't know their fridge temp

Found it in a food safety report from a university extension program. If your fridge is above 40F, you're basically inviting bacteria to a party. Anyone else check theirs regularly?

Honestly that stat is scary but not surprising. My old fridge ran way too warm for months before I noticed. Now I keep a cheap thermometer in there and check it every Sunday, like a weird little ritual.

Yikes, my fridge temp is probably just "cold enough" lol.
