Cold Bag to Fridge

Open to everyone until Tuesday, October 27

To keep it, print it while it is open.

Chilled and frozen food should stay cold while you move it from the shop to your kitchen. Putting it into the fridge or freezer quickly slows the growth of microbes.

In the picture

  1. An insulated cool bag with blue ice packs: cold air held around the food during transport.
  2. A yogurt cup on a refrigerator shelf: chilled food stored at fridge temperature.
  3. A wrapped fish fillet in the refrigerator: fresh food kept cold before cooking.
  4. A bag of frozen peas in the freezer drawer: frozen food kept solid and frosty.

Examples

  • Carrying milk home in an insulated bag with an ice pack.
  • Putting leftovers in the fridge within two hours of cooking.
