STORING AND FREEZING FOOD
Important warnings on freezing
• Only use the freezer to freeze food appropriate for freezing. Always
use quality and fresh food.
• Select the most suitable packaging for the food and use the
packaging correctly.
• Make sure the packaging is air and water tight so that the food does
not dry out and loose its vitamins.
• Indicate the type of food, amount, and date of freezing on the
packaging.
• It is important that the food freezes quickly. Therefore, smaller
packages are recommended. Refrigerate the food before freezing.
Storing 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 it has been partly thawed several
times and that it is 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.
