Freezing and storing
Store the frozen produce
When purchasing deep-frozen food, comply with
the following:
–
Check whether the packaging is damaged.
–
Check the sell-by date.
–
The temperature of the supermarket freezer must
be lower than 0 °F (–18 °C). If not, the storage life
of the food is reduced.
–
Purchase deep-frozen food last. Wrap in newspaper
or place in a cold bag and take home.
–
At home immediately place deep-frozen food
in the freezer compartment. Use the deep-frozen
food before the sell-by date runs out.
Freezing food yourself
Freeze fresh, undamaged food only. To prevent food from
losing its flavour or drying out, place in airtight containers.
Food should be frozen solid as quickly as possible.
