Defrosting our mealsUpdated a month ago

Defrost in the fridge in the original packaging, and once defrosted keep refrigerated in the original packaging. We recommend consuming ideally within one day of defrost to maintain quality. 

If fully defrosted, it is typical to see water or liquid in the meals. This is normal and will reduce once the meal is heated following defrost cook instructions, and even better still if stirred. 

We don't recommend refreezing food that has been fully defrosted for more than 24 hours. While it is safe to refreeze food within 24 hours of defrosting, please note that refreezing after defrosting can reduce quality due to the repeated formation of ice crystals during the process.
