SEC., WASH., D.C. 93149 GUIDES TO HANDLING FROZEN FOODS Proper handling isthe decisive factor in developing andretaining a volume-get- ting frozen food department, reports the November 25 Quick Frozen Foods (Retail Pocket Edition). Next to the consumer, the retailer isthe most important factor in the expansion of frozen foods because he is next to the consumer. Consumers, in ever-increasing numbers, want and buy frozen foods--but only where they know that quality is assured. Packers lavish care on their frozen foods to assure quality. But results of this care are dissipated if the products are permitted to deteriorate in the store--sales and customers are lost. Frozenfoods are profit-making foods. They win customers andmake sales. It paystotake care of them. Here are 10 guides tothe proper store handling of frozen foods--10 direction signs tothe successful winning of customers and making of sales. Nothing invigorates you like sun- shine and fresh outdoor air, but they're death to frozenfoods. Get that delivery off the sidewalk fast! Rush the delivery to zero storage. Don't give it a chance to thaw. Frozen foods which defrost andare refrozen lose taste appeal and customers, Frozenfoods suffer damage when permitted to stand on the floor. Protect quality--get them off the floor and into the cabinet fast! Don't leave anything in long enough to become frost-covered. Rofate stocks. Alwaystake out old pack- ages and place them on top of the new! Customers won'tbuy torn, crushed, or frost-covered packages. So take your choice--either you'll get rid of them or they'll get rid of your customers. Give customers maximum choice. Keep cabinets well-stocked atall times. Remember, the bigger the display, the bigger it sells. Bea good housekeeper. Keepcab- inetstidy. Workoverthem often. Customers buy only what they can see--let them see what you have. The plateline is the defrosting line; stock nothing above it. Andkeep packages back from the glass front to let the cold air circulate. . Frozenfoods become incurably ill above zerotemperature. Keepthat destructive fever down. Check cabinet temperature every morn- ing and every night. . Stocks don't sellin the backroom. Order in just what you need be- tween deliveries and a small re- serve of fast-movers to avoid out- of-stocks.
