Why Refrigerating Food with Shree Pragya’s Packaging Solutions Can Make All the Difference
Refrigerating food properly, and most importantly with the right packaging materials, can make all the difference.
➤ Optimal Temperature Control
Food should be stored in a refrigerator at proper temperatures, which is 0 to 4OC. This is when our high-quality food wrap PVC cling film, and aluminium foils come to the rescue.
1. Upper Shelves: In a commercial refrigerator, use the upper shelf for precooked food and meal prep. Cover prepared salads and cut veggies with our cling film, ensuring freshness and taste. For cooked proteins like paneer, tofu and dairy products, use our aluminium foil. This ensures consistent temperature and prevents the risk of contamination.
2. Lower Shelves: At the lower shelves, store dry veggies, cut fruits, sprouts, and dough-based preparations with the help of high-quality food-grade cling films. Storing these items in lower shelves helps contain moisture release and keep ready-to-eat meals safely separated.
➤ Preventing Cross Contamination
How to store food in a refrigerator to prevent cross-contamination? The solution is to create a physical barrier between the food. Separate raw and cooked food using different containers. Store raw proteins packed with cling film on the lower shelves and cooked food on the upper shelves. Our PVC/PE cling film ensures a secure seal, preventing bacterial contamination and controlling odours.
➤ Labelling Batches & First-In-First-Out System
In professional kitchens, a clear labelling system that mentions batch information, preparation date and expiry date is non-negotiable. Using a first-in-first-out system ensures the older stock is used before the new batches, which helps reduce wastage. Proper wrapping plays an important role in supporting FIFO practices. Using food-grade cling film is ideal for covering prepared dishes, cut vegetables, and dairy items, as it creates a tight seal, retains freshness, and allows easy visibility of labels. For items requiring light and moisture protection, parchment paper works well, especially for bakery or semi-dry preparations. Aluminium foil can be used for items that need stronger barrier protection during short-term storage.
When combined with clear labelling, Shree Pragya Flexifilm Industries‘ wrapping solutions help protect food quality, prevent cross-contamination, and ensure batch information remains intact and readable, making FIFO implementation more effective and reliable in commercial kitchens.
