FOOD STORAGE GUIDE

Storing Fresh Food
Wrap or store food in the refrigerator in airtight and
moisture-proof material unless otherwise noted. This
prevents food odor and taste transfer throughout the
refrigerator. For dated products, check date code to
ensure freshness.
Butter or margarine
Store opened butter in a covered dish or in a closed
compartment. When storing a larger quantity, wrap in
freezer packing and freeze.
Cheese
Store in original packaging until you are ready to use it.
Once opened, tightly rewrap with plastic wrap or
aluminum foil.
Milk
Clean the carton. For best storage, place on an interior
shelf, not in the door.

STORING FROZEN FOOD

NOTE: For more information on how to prepare food to
be frozen such in a way to see the period they can be
stored consult a frozen food guide or a cook book.
Packaging
A great freezing depends on how great you package the
foods. When you seal the package make sure you
remove all excess air and do not allow humidity. A
package that is incorrectly sealed will result in the
transmission of bad odors, contaminants inside your
refrigerator, and will cause your foods to dry.
Packaging Recommendations:
Use sealed plastic containers.
Use plastic containers with a smooth surface.
Package with aluminum foil of high resistance.
Wrap with paper layered with plastic.
Use water proof plastic.
Use recommended plastic bags to store frozen foods.
Follow these packaging or container instructions in
order to reach the best freezing.
Do not use:
Bread wrapping.
Plastic container not safe for storing.
Containers without lids or seals.
Waxed paper or waxed plastic.
Thin wrapping paper or not water proof.
