  • Freezing of food preserves it from the time it is prepared to the time it is eaten.
  • Freezing food slows down decomposition by turning residual moisture into ice, inhibiting the growth of most bacterial species. In the food commodity industry, the process is called IQF or Individually Quick Frozen.
  • Frozen products do not require any added preservatives because microorganisms or pathogens are killed or do not grow when the temperature of the food is below -9.5°C. 
  • One of the problems surrounding the use of freezing as a method of food preservation is the danger that pathogens deactivated (but not killed) by the process will once again become active when the frozen food thaws.
