refrigerated
Stored in cold
Refrigerated describes something kept cold to preserve it or prevent spoilage.
Food, medicine, and biological samples are commonly refrigerated.
A refrigerated truck or railcar maintains cold temperatures during transport.
The leftovers need to be refrigerated.
The word implies active cooling rather than mere coldness—a refrigerated warehouse uses mechanical systems, not winter weather.
