FOOD STORAGE
For storing fresh frozen foods, refer to the adjacent table.
Classification of frozen foods
Put the frozen products into the freezer and classify them.
The storage date should be indicated on the packs, to allow use
within expiry dates.
When you place the food in the freezer, make sure that the food
does not obstruct proper lid closure.
Advice for storing frozen food
When purchasing frozen food products:
Ensure that the packaging is not damaged (frozen food in
damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If the package is
swollen or has damp patches, it may not have been stored under
optimal conditions and defrosting may have already begun.

When shopping, leave frozen food purchases until last and
transport the products in a thermally insulated cool bag.

Place the items in the low temperature compartment as soon
as you get home.

Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum.

Respect the best-before date on the package.

Always observe the storage information on the package.
NOTE:
Eat fully or partially defrosted foods immediately.
Do not refreeze unless the food is cooked after it has thawed.
Once cooked, the thawed food can be refrozen.
If there is a long power failure:

Do not open the freezer lid except to place ice packs
(if available) over the frozen foods on the right and left of
the freezer. This will slow down the rise in temperature.
