It's not a matter of GFCI as much as having all of those items on the same circuit drawing too much power or causing a surge that will "trip" your circuit, causing no power and making all of the food go bad! I would have the refrigerator on it's own dedicated circuit, or one that doesn't have other appliances that use a lot of power. I'm not an electrician, but I believe any electrician would advise against putting it on the same circuit that you mentioned.
