Avoid buying frozen food if you cannot store it straight away. The use of an insulated container is advisable. When you arrive home, place the frozen food in the freezer immediately.
Do not push food together too much, try to allow air to circulate around each item.
Do not store food uncovered.
Ensure that food placed in the freezer is dated and labelled and used in date order to ensure that food is consumed at its best.
Lean food keeps better and longer than fatty food, salt reduces the storage time.
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to the food and provide an airtight seal.
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of refrozen water droplets on the pack could indicate that the product has not been kept at a suitable temperature and that it may have lost its original quality. Partially thawed food must not be refrozen, it must be consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed the storage times indicated by the manufacturer.
