Shelf Storage
Store foods in the coolest cabinets or pantry and away from appliances which produce heat. Warm and humid climates shorten the shelf-life of foods.
Refrigerator Storage
Store food in the home refrigerator from 34 to 40°F (1 to 3°C). Foods spoil rapidly above 40°F (3°C).
Freezer Storage
The best temperature for frozen food storage is at 0°F (-17°C). The temperature should not reach higher than 5°F (-15°C). Check the temperature with a thermometer. Package frozen foods in moisture-vapor-proof (MVP) packages or freezer containers.
