Following an eighteen-month pilot study exploring if frozen food storage temperatures can be increased, Nomad Foods in collaboration with Campden BRI have written a proposed protocol on potential quality measurement attributes that could be measured to demonstrate impact on the quality of the products used in such trials.
The results of the pilot study added further weight to the suggestion that storing frozen food at -15oC, instead of the industry standard -18oC (zero degrees Fahrenheit), can reduce freezer energy consumption by 10-11%, without any noticeable impact on the safety, texture, taste or nutritional value of a product.
As part of our collaborations with Campden BRI, we would very much value your feedback on the protocol which can be found here.
Please send any comments to [email protected] and we will collate and feedback to Campden.
