How long can pre-prepared food be stored at -5 degrees Celsius?

　　Pre-prepared food is one of the most popular food choices in modern fast-paced life, and is deeply loved by consumers for its convenience, speed and variety. When it comes to the storage of pre-prepared food, many people will ask: How long can pre-prepared food be stored at -5 degrees Celsius?

　　In fact, storing pre-prepared food at a low temperature of -5 degrees Celsius can effectively extend its shelf life. Here are some key points:

　　Low temperature inhibition: The low temperature of -5 degrees Celsius can inhibit the growth and reproduction rate of bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of bacterial contamination in food. This is conducive to maintaining the freshness and safety of food.

　　Avoid nutrient loss: Compared with room temperature storage, the low temperature of -5 degrees Celsius can better retain the nutrients in pre-prepared food. Vitamins, proteins and other nutrients are less lost, so that pre-prepared food is still rich in nutrition when eaten.

　　Extend the shelf life: At a low temperature of -5 degrees Celsius, the shelf life of pre-prepared food can be significantly extended. The specific storage time depends on factors such as the type of pre-prepared food, cooking method and storage conditions. Typically, frozen prepared meals can be stored at -5 degrees Celsius for several months to a year.

　　Although -5 degrees Celsius can provide a long shelf life for prepared meals, there are still some precautions to keep in mind:

　　Quality inspection: During storage, regularly check the appearance, smell and taste of prepared meals. If you find any odor, deterioration or abnormal changes, avoid eating them.

　　Appropriate packaging: Before putting prepared meals in the refrigerator or freezer, make sure they are properly packaged and sealed to prevent oxidation, water evaporation and odor transmission during refrigeration or freezing.

　　Thawing notes: If you need to thaw a prepared meal, move it to the refrigerator for slow thawing. Avoid thawing at room temperature to prevent bacterial growth and food spoilage.

　　In summary, storing prepared meals at a low temperature of -5 degrees Celsius can significantly extend their shelf life while maintaining their nutritional value and food safety.
