(1)METHODS OF SELECTING AND USING STORE-BOUGHT FROZEN FOODS

There are approximately 3,000 varieties of frozen food on the market at the present time. Store-bought frozen foods are wholesome, high in nutritional value and easy to prepare. Spoilage or food poisoning are of no concern. The most attractive feature of frozen food is its longevity (1–3 months). As long as you have frozen items on hand in the freezer, it is easy to prepare a splendid meal on short notice, with minimal concern should unexpected guests drop in.

1. Select items preserved in a showcase, indicating a temperature below -18°C.

2. Select items with an approval label from the Japan Frozen Food Association.

3. Select items with the latest manufacturing date.

4. Select items with proper shape and that are frozen hard.

5.Select items without torn wrappings.

6.Avoid items with obscured view of contents due to excessive frosting. They may have been re-frozen.
