California state taxes are among the worst in the country, according to the Tax Foundation, a non-partisan, non-profit research group in Washington D.C. The state has the highest state-level sales tax rate in the nation at 7.5 percent, although this is slated to drop to 7.3 percent at the end of 2016. Combined with local sales taxes, the rate can reach as high as 10 percent in some California cities. The state also has some of the highest income tax rates in the country.
The FDA advises that you should keep the temperature of your fridge between 32 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit, preferably right in the middle of that range, at, say, 35 degrees. Set the temperature at 35, and you avoid the risk of frozen food (thatâs what the freezerâs for!) and you avoid the risk of spoilage.
The best temperature for a refrigerator is at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration. Maintaining an appropriate temperature in a refrigerator reduces the potential for the growth of food-borne microorganisms, including Salmonella, listeria, C. botulinum and E. coli.
