Revealing the risks of “frozen food” if eaten improperly, the Institute of Nutrition recommends storage and heating methods to keep it safe.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Chalat Santiwarangkana, Director of the Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University, revealed the health risks of eating frozen food inappropriately, along with recommendations on how to choose frozen food that is healthy, including how to store and reheat frozen food properly so that frozen food can be eaten hygienically and without harming your health.

1. Many people have the misconception that the freezer is like an eternal storage for food. In fact, the quality of food will decrease if stored in improper packaging.

2. The processed food group that we eat is at risk of not getting complete nutrients. There are few vegetables, dietary fiber, and fruits. The solution is to eat more vegetables and fruits with frozen meals to get enough and complete nutrients.

3. In cases where we eat leftovers and reheat them several times, the nutrients may decrease, mostly in the vitamin B, C, and carotenoid groups.

4. Many frozen food menus are high in sodium. People with kidney disease and high blood pressure should not eat frozen food regularly. If you have to choose to eat frozen food, you can look at the สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที label to see which ones do not contain too much sodium, which should not exceed 500-600 milligrams.

5. Frozen food: If you thaw it by placing it outside the refrigerator, it will cause microorganisms to grow, which can cause food poisoning. The solution is to reheat it as soon as possible after taking it out of the refrigerator.

6. Some food packaging is not suitable for freezing and then reheating, such as soft plastic boxes, because they may melt and pose a risk of chemical contamination in the food. The solution is to remove the food and put it in a heat-resistant ceramic plate or bowl before putting it in the microwave.
