Tips for freezing and storing fresh food. � Before freezing, wrap and seal fresh food in: aluminium foil, cling film, air and water-tight plastic bags, polythene containers with lids or freezer containers suitable for freezing fresh food. � Food must be fresh, mature and of prime quality in order to obtain high quality frozen food. � Fresh vegetables and fruit should preferably be frozen as soon as they are picked to maintain the full original nutritional value, consistency, colour and flavour. Some meat, especially game, should be hung before it is frozen. Note: � Always leave hot food to cool before placing in the freezer. � 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. Important: The table alongside shows the recommended maximum storage time for frozen fresh foods.
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.

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. � Once at home, place the frozen foods immediately in the freezer. � If food has defrosted even partially, do not re-freeze it. Consume within 24 hours. � Avoid, or reduce temperature variations to the minimum. Respect the best-before date on the package. � Always observe the storage information on the package.
