In modern society where everything seems to pass through our hands at the speed of light, even the way we eat has speeded up.
It is difficult to find the time to devote to cooking except a couple of times a week. Our tables are full of precooked foods and frozen products. A convenience for those who do not have to provide for their family, work and even the home.
In a past article “Everything you should know before buying frozen foods” we had already talked about what and how to understand the quality of frozen foods. On that occasion, the IIAS, or the Italian Institute of Frozen Foods, dispelled some myths about the world of frozen foods.
Today, however, the spotlight is on some golden rules to which we must pay attention because those who consume frozen food without paying attention to these things could cause damage to health.
How to buy, transport and store products
Consumers are always warned by the Italian Frozen Food Institute which recommends a series of rules for choosing and savoring quality frozen products. Otherwise, food poisoning, allergic reactions and intestinal disorders could be triggered.
Among the main rules, that of purchase stands out. Frozen products should always be purchased in very popular outlets where the products are sold and immediately replaced with new ones.
Before choosing the food, it is advisable to take a look at the counter which must be clean and frost-free. Furthermore, the temperature of the refrigerated cabinet must always remain at or below 18 ° C;
Another banal but fundamental precaution: last to place the frozen foods in the cart. In this way, the freshness of the food is preserved.
Transportation should always take place in cooler bags. Also, never leave products out of the freezer beyond 30 minutes. Foods that are almost defrosted after the journey should no longer be stored in freezer but immediately consumed. Therefore, be careful because those who consume frozen food without paying attention to these things could cause damage to health.
