All foods must be packed air tight prior to freezing, so that they do notdry out or lose their flavour, and so that no flavour contamination ofother frozen goods occurs.2. Lay the packaged food on the floor of the freezer compartment. Unfro-zen food must not touch items already frozen, otherwise the frozenfood could begin to defrost.Tips:• The following are suited for the packaging of frozen goods:– freezer bags and polyethylene wraps;– special cans for frozen goods;– extra–thick aluminium foil.• The following are suitable for sealing bags and wrap:plastic clips, rubber bands or tape.• Smooth the air out of the bag before sealing; air makes it easier forthe frozen food to dry out.• Make flat packages, because these freeze more quickly.• Do not fill cans for frozen goods to the brim with liquid or paste–likegoods, because liquids expand during freezing.Note for inspection authorities:Batch plans for the determination of freezing performance or warm-uptime can be requested directly from the manufacturer.
