damaged packaging may have deteriorated). If

has not been stored in optimum conditions and
thawing may have already begun.
• When shopping, leave frozen food purchases
until last and carry in thermally insulated bags.
• Place frozen food in the compartment
immediately upon returning home.
• Do not re-freeze partially thawed food.
Consume within 24 hours.
• Avoid or minimise temperature variations.
Observe the expiry date on the package.

storing frozen food.
