We recommend to label and date all your frozen food.
Adding a label will help you to identify foods and to
know when they should be used before their quality
deteriorates.Do not re-freeze defrosted food.
4.2. TIPS FOR FREEZING AND STORING FRESH
FOOD
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic
bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer
containers suitable for freezing fresh food.
• Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in
order to obtain high quality frozen food.
• Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be
frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the
full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and
flavor.
Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it
is frozen.
Note:
• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the
freezer.
• Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.
Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it
has thawed. Once cooked, the thawed food can be
refrozen.
• Do not freeze bottles with liquid.
4.3. USING ICE PACKS*
Ice packs helps in keeping frozen the foodstuffs in case
of power failure. For the best usage of them, place
them above food stored in the top of compartment.
4.4. FROZEN FOOD: SHOPPING TIPS
When purchasing frozen food products:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen
food in damaged packaging may have deteriorated).
If the package is swollen or has damp patches, it
may not have been stored under optimal conditions
and defrosting may have already begun.
• When shopping, buy frozen foods at the end of your
trip and transport them in a thermally insulated cool
bag.
• Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately
in the freezer.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze
it. Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid or reduce temperature variations to the
minimum. Respect the best-before date on the
package.
• Always observe the storage information on the
package.
