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 fridge before storing dry food.
Tips for Keeping Food Perfect in the Fridge
• 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.
• Leave space around your food, to allow air to circulate inside the fridge. Ensure all parts of the fridge
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 fridge. This will help to maintain the
internal temperature of the fridge.
• To prevent cold air escaping from the fridge, try to limit the number of times you open the door.
We recommend that you only open the door when you need to put food in or take food out.
Shopping for Frozen Foods
• Your freezer compartment is 3-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 3-star rating. This is usually the
period stated as “Best before” on the front of the packaging.
• 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 cold.
• 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.
