Shopping for Chilled Foods

•  Take a quick look at the chilled food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.

•  Try to keep chilled food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help 

to keep the food cold.

•  Don’t buy chilled food unless you can chill it straight away. Specially insulated bags can be 

bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These bags can keep chilled food cold 

for longer while transporting.

•  Food that has been left in a car or at room temperature for a prolonged period of time could 

raise the food temperature to a dangerous level, which allows harmful bacteria to grow.

•  Always unpack and place chilled food in the unit before storing dry food.

 Tips for Keeping Food in the Unit

•  Cooked meats/fishes should always be stored on a shelf above raw meats/fishes to avoid 

bacterial transfer. Keep raw meats/fishes in a container which is large enough to collect 

juices and cover it properly. Place the container on the lowest shelf at the bottom of the 

fridge compartment. 

•  Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the compartments. Ensure all 

parts of the unit are kept cool.

•  To prevent transfer of flavours and drying out, pack or cover the food separately. Fruit and 

vegetables do not need to be wrapped.

•  Always let pre-cooked food cool down before you put in the unit. This will help to maintain 

the internal temperature of the unit.

•  To prevent cold air escaping from the unit, try to limit the number of times you open the 

doors. We recommend that you only open the doors when you need to put food in or take 

food out.

Shopping for Frozen Foods 

•  The freezer compartment is 4-star 

 .  

When you are buying frozen food, check the storage guidelines on the packaging. You will 

be able to store each item of frozen food for the period shown against the 4-star rating. This 

is usually the period stated as “Best before” on the front of the packaging. The maximum 

freezing capacity of this freezer in 24 hours is specified on the rating plate.

•  Check the temperature of the frozen food cabinet in the shop where you buy your frozen 

foods. It should show a temperature lower than -18°C.

•  Take a quick look at the frozen food package and make sure it is in perfect condition.

•  Always buy frozen products last on your shopping trip or visit to the supermarket. Try to 

keep frozen food together whilst shopping and on the journey home as this will help to keep 

the food frozen.

•  Don’t buy frozen food unless you can freeze it straight away. Specially insulated bags can 

be bought from most supermarkets and hardware shops. These bags can keep frozen food 

frozen longer.
