STORAGE OF INDUSTRIALLY FROZEN

FOOD

• When storing and using frozen food, observe the manufacturer's instructions.

Temperature and expiry date are indicated on the packaging.

• Only choose food with undamaged packaging, stored in freezers at temperatures of

-18°C or lower.

• Do not purchase food covered in frost as this indicates they have been partly defrosted

several times and that they are of inferior quality.

• Protect the food from thawing during transport. In case of an increase in temperature,

storage time will be shorter and quality will deteriorate.

DEFROSTING FROZEN FOOD

Freezing the food does not kill the microorganisms. After the food is defrosted or thawed,

bacteria is re-activated and the food spoils quickly. Use the partially or completely

defrosted food as soon as possible.

Partial thawing decreases the nutritive value of the food, particularly fruit, vegetables, and

ready-to-eat food.
