My personal experience would lead me to disagree.

Wen i speak of food kept in the fridge, ammainly talkng about rea foods. I do not allow ready meals and the like into my fridge or my home as generally,they are rubbish. I tend to do real cooking, i.e the production of meals from base ingredients.

Also there is a clear difference between use by and best before.
Itend to find that diary produce such as fresh milk andcream,will have gone off no long after its stated date.

For info the current temps in my freezer fridge are


Freezer -24
Fridge +3
Ambient room +24

The freezer is perhaps a tad too cold.
