food . Adding a label will help you to identify foods
and to know when they should be used before their
quality deteriorates . Do not re-freeze defrosted food .
› Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in:
aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic
bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer
containers suitable for freezing fresh food .

order to obtain high quality frozen food .
› Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be
frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full
original nutritional value, consistency, colour and
flavor . Some meat, especially game, should be hung
before it is frozen .
