The question did not specify the unit of the temperature whether °F or °C, but I think it means 45 °F or less. I will use the unit of °F to explain m answer.

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

To ensure that foods that require refrigeration are preserved in order to delay the build up of bacteria, it is important that the internal temperature of the refrigerator is maintained at 40 °F or below, At Above 40°F, Most foods that need refrigeration can start to spoil.

Also note that stored foods in the refrigerator even below this range should not overstay else such foods end up losing their quality and taste.
