Never forget:
· When you freeze fresh foods with a 'use by /best
before/best by/' date, you must freeze them before this date
expires.
· Check that the food was not already frozen. Indeed, frozen
food that has thawed completely must not be re-frozen.
· Once defrosted, food should be consumed quickly.
