Advice for freezing and storing fresh food.
• Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, transparent film, waterproof plastic bags,
polyethylene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable
for the food being frozen.
• Food must be fresh and of prime quality.
• If possible, fresh vegetables and fruit should be frozen
immediately after being picked, to preserve the nutritional
substances, structure, consistency, colour and flavour.
Note:
• Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer.
• Consume fully or partially thawed foods immediately. Do not
refreeze unless the thawed food is used to prepare a ready
meal. Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
Important:
The table opposite gives the recommended storage times
for frozen fresh foods.
Classification of frozen foods
Put the frozen products in the freezer and classify them.
It is advisable to indicate the storage date on the packs, to ensure
their use before the expiry dates.
Advice for storing deep-frozen food
When purchasing deep-frozen food products:
• Make sure the packaging is not damaged, otherwise the food
can deteriorate. If the package is swollen or has damp patches,
it has not been stored in optimum conditions and may have
started to thaw.
• Purchase frozen food last and use thermal bags to carry it.
• Place frozen foods in the freezer as soon as you get home.
• Do not refreeze partially thawed food products; consume them
within 24 hours.
• Avoid or reduce temperature variations to a minimum. Respect
the expiry date on the pack.
• Always follow the instructions given on the pack for storing
frozen foods.
