Far riskier to a human is food spoiled by a refrigerator power off for too long; then cooled by a reset GFCI.
Meanwhile, all refrigerators must have three wire receptacles that make danger minimal.
Do electrical work. Getting shocked is rarely deadly. And then a standard refrigerator has additional connections that make that risk even less. Food poisoning is considered a greater threat according to code.
