Advanced planning saves your loved ones a lot of trouble and reduces the potential for legal disputes that could arise after death. Transporting a body across state lines isnât an issue that has been highly litigated and therefore attorneys arenât necessarily the best experts to provide practical advice in this area.
Food starts to spoil when the temperature rises above 40 degrees. After food warms to that temperature, you have just two hours in which you can either return it to cold conditions or cook it. In the fridge, produce will survive most power failures, but dairy products should be discarded if they smell or taste sour.
The average recommended temperature for a refrigerator is 35 - 38o F(degrees Fahrenheit) and 1.6-3.3 Â°C (degrees Celsius).acterial and mold growth are considerably slowed down at these temperatures, thus retarding food spoilage. Since water freezes at 0Â°C (32Â°F), this prevents fresh foods from freezing, although when the temperature is at the low end of the range, some areas in the refrigerator may be below the freezing point.
