FREEZING FRESH FOOD

Ensure that your freezing operations are carried

freezing alone does not improve the food.
Never put hot or even warm foodstuffs into the
freezer.
Prior to freezing the food, food should always
be covered tightly with foil, plastic film, placed
in plastic bags or stored in airtight containers.
This will prevent food from dehydrating and
to prevent any strong odors of some foods
transferring to milder ones.
To freeze raw meat, wrap in plastic bags or in
airtight containers and place on the lowest shelf
to avoid cross contamination.
Do not allow raw meat to come into contact with
cooked foods. For safety, only store raw meat for
two or three days.
NOTE: The ambient temperature of the freshly
stored food and how often the door is opened
