Where should whole cuts of beef be stored in a cooler?

Whole cuts of beef should be stored in the coldest part of the cooler, typically at or below 40°F (4°C). It's best to place them on a bottom shelf to prevent any drips from contaminating other foods. Additionally, keeping them wrapped or in a sealed container helps maintain freshness and prevent cross-contamination. Proper air circulation around the meat is also important for even cooling.
