Solution
Flesh foods should be stored below 0°C temperature.
Explanation:
Flesh foods (such as meat, fish, and poultry) are highly perishable. To prevent rapid bacterial growth, decomposition, and spoilage, they require freezing or near-freezing temperatures. Storing them at or below 0°C ensures that enzymatic activities and microbial multiplication are effectively halted or significantly slowed down.
