nah it's bs. at home we put tomatoes in the fridge when it's too warm or it's been a couple days and they're perfectly fine.They didn't have enough autistics as tasters. Most big tomatoes absolutely go nasty and grainy when refrigerated.
ofc it only works if they tomatoes were good to begin with. if they had to be transported refrigerated then it's likely they were crappy to begin with because they were picked too early.
