ohmygosh! I don't know how accurate that is.....I should be dead after
reading this list, and knowing what I have done!

"don't freeze apricots? apples in the pantry for 1 to 2 days? keep tomatoes
2 to 3 days?" huh?

I notice this is the 'Food Marketing Institute". hmmm......

I know I've kept apples at room temp. for longer than that. Not a lot
longer though. They seem to spoil fairly quickly if not refrigerated.
Tomatoes don't seem to last very long. I've also read not to refrigerate
them unless they've been cut into. The cold reduces the sweetness or
something.

I always kept tomatoes at room temp. when I lived in CA. Had no problems
with them. But here, they seem to spoil in a day or two so I have to
refrigerate them.

They don't need to be refrigerated but they shouldn't be kept at
room temp either. A cold cellar is perfect. However, different
varieties of apples keep different lengths.
