Can Frozen Food in the Freezer Get Stale?KOMPAS.com - Frozen food or commonly referred to as frozen food is ready-to-eat food that is processed and packaged in such a way that it is more practical and does not require a long time to process.As the name implies, frozen food cannot be stored at room temperature or chiller, but in the freezer so that it can last longer.Although the freezer can extend the shelf life of food, it is possible that the food stored in the freezer can go stale.According to the owner and manager of the healthy frozen food business, D'Mamam Widati Wulandari said that the freezer temperature can affect food security."If the temperature is still maintained at around minus 18 degrees Celsius, I don't think the food will go stale," Wulan told Kompas.com at the Kompas Gramedia Foodplace Studio on Wednesday (27/7/2022).However, Wulan said that it was possible for the freezer temperature to change due to several obstacles, such as power outages."Women at home usually forget that the electricity at home can go out when left out of the house. Automatically the freezer temperature will drop, this can cause frozen food to go stale," said Wulan.Adding from Well and Good, the longer a food is stored in the freezer, the quality of the food can decrease.Daily Harvest head chef and recipe development Ashley Lonsdale advises eating frozen foods within the deadlines listed on the packaging.In addition, it is better if the earliest food is stored in the freezer.If you find a part of the food that has chunks of ice, you should not eat it because the formation of ice on the surface of the food can affect the taste and texture.A post shared by Foodplace (@my.foodplace)Write your comments with the hashtag #JernihBerkomentar and win e-vouchers for 90 winners!Get information and insight selected by Kompas.com editorsDouble check and complete your data.Your data will be used for account verification when you need assistance or when unusual activity is found on your account.Immediately complete your data to join the #JernihBerkomentar program.
