Freezing and storing

food

Purchasing frozen food

Packaging must not be damaged.

Use by the ”use by” date.

Temperature in the supermarket
freezer must be –18 °C or lower.

If possible, transport deep-frozen food
in a cool bag and place quickly in
the freezer compartment.

Freezing fresh food

Freeze fresh and undamaged food only.
To retain the best possible nutritional
value, flavour and colour, vegetables
should be blanched before freezing.
Aubergines, peppers, zucchini and
asparagus do not require blanching.
Literature on freezing and blanching
can be found in bookshops.

Note
Keep food which is to be frozen away
from food which is already frozen.

The following foods are suitable for
freezing:
Cakes and pastries, fish and seafood,
meat, game, poultry, vegetables, fruit,
herbs, eggs without shells, dairy
products such as cheese, butter and
quark, ready meals and leftovers such
as soups, stews, cooked meat and
fish, potato dishes, soufflés and
desserts.

The following foods are not suitable
for freezing:
Types of vegetables, which are usually
consumed raw, such as lettuce or
radishes, eggs in shells, grapes,
whole apples, pears and peaches,
hard-boiled eggs, yoghurt, soured
milk, sour cream, crème fraîche and
mayonnaise.

Note
When freezing fresh food, the
refrigeration unit runs for longer. As a
result, the refrigerator compartment
temperature may drop too low. Increase
the temperature in the refrigerator
compartment.

To prevent food from losing its flavour
or drying out, place in airtight containers.
1. Place food in packaging.
2. Remove air.
3. Seal the wrapping.
4. Label packaging with contents

and date of freezing.

Suitable packaging:
Plastic film, tubular film
made of polyethylene, aluminium foil,
freezer containers.
These products are available
from specialist outlets.

Unsuitable packaging:
Wrapping paper, greaseproof paper,
cellophane, bin liners and used
