WHAT YO U S H OUL D G E NE RALLY KNOW

WHEN PR OC ES SIN G FOO D:
The following food safety instructions are based on scientific findings and experi-
ence and are important for your health and optimal storage of foods:
1. As soon as you thaw, or remove foods from the fridge, consume them immedi-
ately.
2. Canned or ready vacuum packed foods can be vacuum packed again after
opening (in Solis bags). Follow the instructions, storing foods in a cool place
once opened (not at room temperature!) and treating vacuumed foods just as
GB
carefully as fresh foods. Take note of the use by date printed on the original
packaging.
3. Never defrost foods in warm water or with the help of other heat sources (e.g.
microwave), regardless of whether they are vacuum packed or not. Foods are
most gently defrosted in the fridge.
4. Do not consume highly perishable foods that have been stored for hours at room
temperature. This is especially dangerous if they are in a thick sauce, if they are
vacuum packed, or if they are kept in a low oxygen environment.
5. Distribute vacuum bags evenly in the fridge or freezer so that they cool as quickly as
possible.
