8.2 How to maintain good food quality

When buying groceries
Always take the following precautions:
> Place any packages of raw meat, fish or poultry in
plastic bags so that they do not drip on other foods.
> Purchase meat, poultry and fish last. Do not leave
your groceries in a warm car after shopping. Keep a
freezer bag in your car and use it in case of very high
temperatures or long trips.
> Check the production dates and "best before" times
on foods to be sure that they are fresh.
> Be very careful when buying fresh foods, and only
buy a quantity that can be consumed during your
planned preservation period.
> When possible, let warm foods adjust to room tem-
perature for at least two hours before placing them
in the refrigerator, unless you have activated the
Shopping function before.
When placing foods in
Check the refrigeration temperature of the various
compartments on the control panel:
> The refrigerator temperature must be 8°C (45°F)
or lower and the freezer temperature must be -18°C
(0°F)
> Follow the recommendations regarding the pres-
ervation times and temperatures indicated in the ta-
bles to follow.
> Keep raw meat, fish and poultry separate from oth-
er foods and avoid any possible drippings.
When placing foods in
> When placing in the refrigerator your meat, fish
or poultry, leave these in their original packaging,
unless the packaging is ripped or punctured. Re-
peated handling could introduce bacteria into these
foods.
> To keep food in the freezer is a good idea to use
freezer containers.
> Label and date the packages
> Be careful to correctly position the food items on
the shelves in a way that does not obstruct the air
circulation vents inside the compartment.
