It’s a good idea to keep easily soiled items in the:

Keeping easily soiled items in the back of the fridge is the best choice because the back of the fridge generally has the coldest temperature due to the placement of the cooling unit. This helps maintain a more consistent and lower temperature, which is crucial for preserving perishable items and preventing spoilage.

The colder temperature in the back of the fridge reduces the risk of bacterial growth, especially for items that are more prone to spoiling. Placing these items in a colder area of the fridge helps to ensure food safety and maintain the quality of the items for a longer period.

The other areas of the fridge, such as the front or middle, may experience fluctuations in temperature due to frequent door openings, or may be less cold overall. This can increase the likelihood of spoilage for easily soiled items. The crisper drawer is designed for fruits and vegetables, offering humidity control, but does not necessarily provide the coldest environment, making it less ideal for all easily soiled items.
