Shelf life of food
▸ High-protein and high-fat foods are delicate/perishable and have a relatively short
storage life.
▸ Observe best-before and use-by dates.
▸ Produce can generally be stored for longer at low temperature settings. A temperature
of 5 °C in the refrigerator compartment and -18 °C in the freezer compartment
provide a balanced setting in terms of food quality and energy consumption – ideal if
storing a large variety of products.
