Approximate Storage Time of Frozen Foods
Partially thawed or defrosted foods should be used as
soon as possible. Cold air preserves the food but it
does not destroy microorganisms which rapidly
activate themselves after defrosting and make foods
perishable.
Partial defrosting reduces the nutritional value of
foods, especially of fruits, vegetables and ready-made
meals.
