A food managing refrigerator using RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) is provided to read food data from RFID tags instead of inputting the data manually and realize user's direct setting of circulation periods to RFID data by using control knobs. A food managing refrigerator using RFID includes a control knob(45) for a user to set a circulation period of food. An RFID container(50) receives food attached with RFID tags. An RFID reading unit reads the circulation period from the RFID tags. A controller receives the data read out by the RFID reading unit from the RFID tags and stores the same to a storing unit for managing the food kept in the RFID container. The RFID tags have a plurality of contact terminals(44a-44d) contacting the control knob. The control knob is exposed via a slit(51) of the RFID container for the manipulation of a user.
