I had the same issue and got some 1/4" thick acrylic sheets at the home improvement store. Cut them with a sawzall or fine tooth hack saw or jigsaw. Masking tape over the line you cut to prevent it from chipping or cracking.

As one user said above most big box home improvement stores have a cutter in the department with the shelving. You can buy just a few feet of it and the little caps and walk out with it the right size.

Flex apparently not an issue?

Not for me. I used 1/4" acrylic sheet. You can probably get thicker. Also depends on how it's supported and what you're keeping in there. I think 1/4" in a mini fridge for sodas, snacks, a lunch bag would be fine.

I might drill a few holes in the shelf to promote even temperature distribution. Modern full size fridges tens to have solid shelves, but the interior is built such that the air flows around them sufficiently. If the fridge was designed with solid shelves in mind you might want a few holes
