So the closer to freezing you can keep your conversion the better.

Pathogenic listeria is normally only harm full to young children, old people and the unborn.
Cooking it kills it and I don't believe it leaves behind any harmful toxins.
Thanks for that, I wasn't aware.

The temperature does cycle, and runs in the 38F - 40F range.
