Packaging
Proper packaging helps prevent freezer
burn, and helps limit odor transfer in the
freezer.
For short term storage, freeze meat or
poultry directly in supermarket wrapping.
This meat should be used within 1 to 2
months.
For long term storage, follow these wrap-
ping guidelines:
• Overwrap store wrapped packages
with airtight heavy duty foil, plastic
wrap, freezer paper or freezer bags.
• Freeze unopened vacuum wrapped
packages as they are.
• Make sure lids are sealed tightly when
using airtight freezer containers.
• Break down foods into smaller portions
for faster freezing.
• Remove as much air as possible from
packages before placing in the freezer.
• If a package has accidentally been torn
or damaged while in the freezer, the
food is still safe to eat. Just overwrap it
or repackage it.
• It is not necessary to rinse meat or
poultry before freezing.
