6.4 Shopping tips
After grocery shopping:
• Ensure that the packaging is not damaged
- the food could be deteriorated. If the
package is swollen or wet, it might have
not been stored in the optimal conditions
and defrosting may have already started.
• To limit the defrosting process buy frozen
goods at the end of your grocery shopping
and transport them in a thermal and
insulated cool bag.
• Place the frozen foods immediately in the
freezer after coming back from the shop.
• If food has defrosted even partially, do not
re-freeze it. Consume it as soon as
possible.
• Respect the expiry date and the storage
information on the package.
