The present invention relates to a liner for a refrigerator crisper drawer. The liner comprises a main produce supporting body and provides drawer engaging surfaces. The main body provides a generally upwardly facing produce supporting surface on which items of produce can be placed and has a plurality of openings formed therethrough which enable fluids and air to flow through the main body. The supporting surfaces engage liner supporting surfaces inside the crisper drawer so as to support the items of produce in spaced relation above the floor of the crisper drawer and allow fluids and air to flow along the floor of the drawer beneath the produce supporting body, thereby allowing fluids to drain away from the items of produce through the openings and allowing chilled air within the crisper drawer to flow beneath the items of produce and generally upwardly through the openings to provide circulation to lower portions of the produce. The drawer engaging surfaces are constructed and arranged to enable the liner to be removed from the crisper drawer for cleaning or replacement.
