(b)Place dry ice on top of food. using as large pieces as possible. Protect your hands with gloves when using dry ice.

[c)If neither food locker storage nor dry ice IS

available, use or can perishable food at once.

3.The length of time food will stay frozen de- pends on several factors. For instance: a full freezer will remain cold longer than a freezer only partially filled. And a freezer full of meat will stay cold longer than a freezer filled with baked goods. Also, if the food still contains ice crystals, it may be safely refrozen, al- though the quality and flavor may be af- fected. Use this food as soon as convenient. If the condition of the food is poor or is any way

questionable, it is wise to dispose of it.
