FOOD STORAGE INFORMATION

Frozen Food:
• Wipe containers before storing to avoid needless spills.
• Hot food should be allowed to cool before storing in the freezer. This will prevent
unnecessary energy use.
• When storing meats, keep in the original packaging or rewrap as necessary.
• Proper freezer storage requires correct packaging. All foods must be in packages,
which do not allow the flow of air or moisture in, or out. Improper storage will
result in odor and taste transfer and will result in the drying out of the improperly
packaged food.
• Follow package or container instructions for proper storage.
• Packaging Recommendations:
Plastic containers with air tight lids
Heavy duty aluminum foil
Plastic wrap made from saran film
Self-sealing plastic bags
• Do not refreeze defrosted/thawed foods.
• It is recommended that the freezing date be marked on the
packaging.

• TV Dinners
• Fresh Shrimp, scallops, crawfish
• Hamburger & stew meats
• Ground Turkey, veal, pork
• Chops
