Distribution of quick frozen foods should be carried out in such a way that any rise in product temperature
warmer than -18ºC be kept to a minimum within, as appropriate, the limit set by competent authorities and
should not in any case be warmer than -12ºC in the warmest package to ensure quality of the products. After
delivery, the product temperature should be reduced to -18°C as soon as possible.
Loading into and unloading from vehicles and loading into and unloading from cold stores should be as fast
as practicable and the methods used should minimize product temperature rise.
