Businesses who rely on the freshness and safety of their food know that keeping the food at the right temperature is critical. They can also tell you the importance of having food that tastes as fresh as the day that it was placed into the commercial freezer. Here are some ways to make sure that your food is not freezer burned.

Organize Your Commercial Freezer Correctly

In order to ensure that air circulates properly around the food in your commercial freezer, you should check to make sure that there is about six inches of free space between the sides and top of the freezer and the contents. This is very important to the proper operation of your commercial freezer. Failure to leave this space can change the temperature at which the food is being stored. Temperature variances in commercial freezers can result in freezer burn.

Package Your Food Correctly

In order to store your food in a way that avoids freezer burn, it is important to always store the food in proper packaging. Most pre-packaged frozen food will be placed into the commercial freezer in plastic bags and possibly boxes. If this is optimal and the food will be used quickly, freezer burn is a small risk. Long term storage containers should be used if the food will be in the commercial freezer for an extended period of time.

Know the Contents and Date Your Packages

Before placing anything into your freezer, mark it with a storage date. You can date it for when it goes into the freezer, or when it must be used. Either way, be consistent and pay attention to these dates. It is critical to know the storage life of your food. If you place uncooked meat into your freezer, for example, it should be used within six months to guarantee freshness. Failing to use the food in this period of time can and will result in freezer burn.
