STORAGE OF BLAST CHILLED OR SHOCK FROZEN
FOOD
Blast chilled and/or shock frozen food MUST NOT be stored
inside the blast chiller. The food should be adequately covered
and protected (with cling film, hermetic lids or for best results
vacuum packed) and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
Shock frozen foods, whose shelf life in the freezer ranges from 2
to 12 months, should be identified by a label where the content,
the dated cooked and the assigned expiry date are to be written
with a permanent marker (fig.1.5).
Blast chilled food must be stored in a refrigerated cabinet at a
steady +2°C.
Shock frozen food must be stored in a freezer at a steady -20°C.
Vacuum packing (optional)
Vacuum packing extends the storage life of blast chilled food up to
15 or 21 days depending on the type of food. The food must be
vacuum packed perfectly in strict compliance with the times and
temperatures guidelines and labelled with contents, dated cooked
and expiry date with a perminent marker.
