Hints for storage of frozen food

• Make sure that the commercially frozen

food products were adequately stored

by the retailer.

• Make sure that frozen foodstuffs are

transferred from the food store to the

freezer in the shortest possible time.

• Once defrosted, food deteriorates

rapidly and cannot be refrozen.

• Do not exceed the storage period

indicated by the food manufacturer.

• Do not store glass containers with liquids

in the freezer compartment because they

may break.
