4. food Frozen food should be placed in the freezer soon after purchase Generally speaking pre packaged commercially frozen food should be stored in accordance with the frozen food manufacturer s instructions for a 3 star frozen food storage compartment which means that most types of these foods can be stored for up to three months The length of storage time cannot be precisely stated as this varies very much with the nature of the frozen food It is therefore important to take note of the food manufacturer s estimate of the permissible storage times for his products Bulk quantities of frozen food delivered to the door can usually be stored for longer periods as indicated by the manufacturer Storage times for fresh foods which have been home prepared and frozen are given in the separate food freezing leaflet If frozen food is allowed to thaw i e the packs become wet and limp no attempt should be made to store or refreeze it should be consumed or disposed of within 24 hours WARNING Never put bottles or cans of carbonated gassy drinks in the freezer as they may burst if the gas is forced out by freezing Care should be taken when handling and consuming water ices e g iced lollies taken directly from the freezer because of the possibility of cold burn frost bite when such ices are at very low temperatures FREEZING FRESH FOOD Detailed information on the preparation and packaging of fresh foods for freezing and their s
