Purchasing and storing
deep-frozen food
Follow these guidelines when purchasing deep-frozen
food:
n Make sure the packaging is not damaged.
n Check the ”sell by” date.
n The temperature of the supermarket freezer should
be lower than 0 °F (-18 °C). If not, this shortens
the storage life of the frozen food.
n Pick up deep-frozen food last when shopping.
Wrap in newspaper or place in a cold bag and take
home.
n At home, immediately place deep-frozen food in the
freezer compartment. Use the deep-frozen food
before the ”sell by” date.
Thawing frozen food
CAUTION
Risk of poisoning!
Do not refreeze food that is beginning to thaw or
has already thawed. The food cannot be refrozen
until it has been prepared (boiled or fried). Do not
store these refrozen products for the maximum
storage period.
Depending on the type of food and its intended use,
frozen food can be thawed as follows:
n at room temperature
n in the refrigerator
n in an electric oven with/without fan-assisted hot air
n in the microwave.
