but understand the danger of Listeria... I had a husband 30 years ago die from it...

"Listeria can survive on cold surfaces and can also multiply slowly at 24 °F, defeating one traditional food safety defense--refrigeration. Refrigeration at 40 °F stops the multiplication of many foodborne bacteria, but does not kill most bacteria. Freezer temperatures of 0 °F or below, however, will stop Listeria from multiplying."
