Freeze on day of purchase... Question ?

I've never took any notice of the freeze on day of purchase and i'm still here :thumbsup: best before dates are also only really a guide

Thanks....

I think it must so you dont go by the Use by date, then freeze etc... (If it has turned etc)

rule of thumb for freezing any food is to freeze as fresh as possible. I guess the notice on the packet is just to reinforce that

It's because when you freeze something on the 'use by' date and then defrost it you have to eat it immediately after it has defrosted whereas if you freeze something with 5 days to spare you should have a few days after defrosting it to eat it!! Hope this makes sense!

and dont defrost meat at room temperature!

It is [COLOR=#ff0000]not safe to thaw meat at room temperature[/COLOR] as this allows dangerous bacteria to grow in the meat.
