Explanation:

• In English, a question tag or tagging a question expresses a special construction, that refers to a statement with a mini question tag.

• Such question tags pose a question, asking for confirmation.
• most often used when we expect the listener or performer to agree with the statement said.
• Question tags are more common in verbal conversations than in writing.
• So in the positive cases, we add a negative question tag. And when in a negative statement, a positive question tag is preferred. The verb and tense forms change accordingly.

• It is important to note that the Question tag follows the auxiliary verb or the main verb from the statement attached and gets changed to positive or negative depending on the needs of the statement.

• A question tag construction follows a comma and the question clause.
• The question tag is usually built by combining an auxiliary verb and a pronoun. In such a question tag, the auxiliary verb matches the verb taken in the declarative statement.

• Since the subject here is "the vegetables", hence the pronoun used will be "They" in place of "it".

Therefore, the rectified sentence will be

The vegetables in the fridge are still fresh, aren't they?
