Frozen Meat

How you store frozen meat does have an impact on the quality of frozen meat. Freezing meat is a great way to store and protect it from spoilage.

We’ve all become used to cooking and eating at home due to the pandemic and nowadays more people than ever are working from home.  We cook more meals in our kitchens or in our barbeques.

Food safety is an important part of frozen food delivery in ensuring meat is delivered to you safely.  Freezing food prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. When frozen meat begins to defrost, bacteria grows on the meat and sometimes multiplies at a rapid rate.

The key factor when choosing food for the freezer is to know exactly what you are freezing or, if it is pre-frozen, exactly what you are buying.

Freezing is the preferred storage method and has been used for centuries to preserve food. Other preserving methods just cannot compare when it comes to retaining nutritional value and flavour.
