Defrosting frozen food
The storage time and recommended temperature for storing
commercially frozen foods is indicated on the packaging. Always
follow manufacturer's instructions for storage and use of frozen
food. When shopping be careful to choose only food which is
adequately packed and provided with complete data and stored in
freezers where the temperature never rises above -18°C.
Do not buy packages of food wrapped with frost. This indicates
that the package was thawed before at least once.
Take care that packages don't start to thaw during transport to
your home. Temperature rise shortens the storage time and affects
the quality of commercially frozen foods.

Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as soon as
possible. Cold air preserves the food but it does not destroy
microorganisms which rapidly activate themselves after
defrosting and make foods perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of food, especially
fruits, vegetables and readymade meals.
