Keep cool
“Keep cool” means store in the refrigerator at a temperature between 0℃ and 4℃, ideally at about 1.7℃. The main compartment of your refrigerator should be in this temperature range. You can, if you wish, store either of these products in the freezer.
(Label example)
- “Refrigerate required (7℃ or less)”
- “Store at 7℃ or below”

Keep frozen
The “keep frozen” instructions are used by the companies for food safety and are usually not the ideal way to prepare the food. Often, a defrost in the refrigerator will minimize textural degradation and help the dish cook more evenly.
(Label example)
- “Frozen product (0℃ or less)”
- “Store at 0℃ or below”
