Important recommendations for storing frozen food
•
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the storage and use of frozen food. Take note of the
recommended storage temperature and use-by date stated on the packaging.
•
Use only food in undamaged packaging that has been stored at a temperature of -18 °C or lower.
•
Do not buy food covered in frost. This indicates that the food has thawed or partially thawed
several times and, as a result, is of inferior quality.
•
Make sure that the food does not thaw during transport. An increase in its temperature will shorten
the storage life and harm the quality of the food.
