Factory frozen food
Duration and temperature of storage for factory frozen food are
indicated on the packaging.
- Only choose appropriately packaged food.
- Protect the food from defrosting; temperature increase will
shorten maximum storage time of frozen food.
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.
