Answer

On the bottom shelf, below all ready-to-eat and lower-cook-temperature foods

Store food by minimum internal cook temperature, with the highest-temperature item on the bottom. Raw poultry (165°F) goes on the lowest shelf so its juices cannot drip onto ready-to-eat or lower-temperature foods.
