‘Your fridge and the way you're using it could mean your food is going off more quickly than you'd like,’ Which? said. 'In the worst cases, it could even lead to you getting ill.'
‘No matter how accurate your thermostat is, the temperature in your fridge will still vary between shelves,’ it explained. 'It’s best to think of your thermostat temperature as an average for the fridge because, as a general rule, the higher the shelf, the higher the temperature will be.'
Cured meats, leftovers, cream cakes, or any other items that don’t need to be cooked before being eaten should be stored on the top shelf, according to Which?
Dr Christian Reynolds from City, University of London, previously told MailOnline: 'Milk is a perishable commodity so where you store it and the temperature you store it at in the fridge affects its shelf life.'
