CLASSIFICATION OF FROZEN FOODS
Put the frozen products into the freezer and classify them.
The storage date should be indicated on the packs, to allow
use within expiry dates.
ADVICE FOR STORING FROZEN FOOD
When purchasing frozen food products:
Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package
is swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been
stored under optimal conditions and defrosting may have
already begun.
When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.
Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the
freezer.
Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.
Respect the best-before date on the package.
Always observe the storage information on the package.
Note:
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately. Do
not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has
thawed. Once cooked, the food can be refrozen.
If there is a long power failure:
do not open the freezer lid except to place ice packs
(if available) over the frozen foods on the right and
left of the freezer.
This will slow down the temperature increase speed.
