●
Always wash your hands with soapy water
and dry them with a clean towel before
handling food.
●
Keep work surfaces clean and avoid cross
contamination by not using the same work
surface or knife, without washing them
thoroughly in between.
●
The foods to be frozen must be fresh and of
the best quality.
●
The size of each pack should be small
enough to ensure that it is used in one go.
Small packs freeze more quickly and
uniformly and give better results.
●
Frozen food, once thawed, must not be
refrozen. Lean food keeps better and longer
than fatty food, salt reduces the storage
time.
●
Wrap the food in polythene or aluminium
freezing bags or foil so that they adhere to
the food and provide an airtight seal.
●
Packaging which is swollen or has traces of
refrozen water droplets on the pack could
indicate that the product has not been kept
at a suitable temperature and that it may
have lost its original quality. Partially thawed
food must not be refrozen, it must be
consumed within 24 hours. Never exceed
the storage time indicated.
●
Never place bottles or cans of fizzy drink in
the freezer as they may explode. Containers
with a lid must not be filled to the brim.
●
Do not open the door or place extra fresh
food in the freezer next to food which is
already frozen as this could cause the
temperature of the frozen food to rise and its
quality and storage life to reduce.
