There is no quality difference between a fresh or frozen chicken/turkey. Frozen chicken/turkeys are flash frozen immediately after packaging to 0?F or below and held at that temperature until purchased. Once defrosted, the meat is virtually as fresh as the day it was processed. Fresh chickens/turkeys are chilled after packaging and have shorter shelf lives.

According to the International Food Information Council, the nutritional value of frozen vegetables is virtually identical to fresh produce. The Mount Sinai School of Medicine Complete Book of Nutrition concurs. The book reveals that fresh produce that sits unused in the refrigerator for too long will actually lose taste and nutrition. Since frozen vegetables provide the same health benefits as fresh, they offer a convenient and nutritious alternative.

All the entrees come fresh made to order! We suggest you freeze anything you're not going to eat within 4 days. The items we consider to be more freezable are marked on the label.

Fresh-frozen means that our fish are frozen the same day they are delivered to our state-of-the-art, kosher certified plant. During transit to our plant, they are kept chilled in a blanket of flaked ice. We sell only fresh-frozen fish of superior quality, taste, and texture. Fish marketed as "fresh" in supermarkets often spend long periods of time in transit by air and truck from distant docks to your local food market.

Fresh Frozen Plasma contains all blood clotting factors including the heat labile Factors V and VIII. Plasma contains all blood clotting factors with reduced amount of the heat labile Factors V and VIII. Fresh Frozen Plasma is used to treat a suspected or known deficiency or malfunction in clotting Factors V and VIII. It is also used to replace all clotting factors if a patient has had a massive bleed where its total blood volume has been replaced in less than 24 hours.

There is no difference in taste between a fresh or frozen turkey. It is personal preference. The only thing being the fresh turkey will be ready to cook, whereas the frozen turkey would have to be thawed properly. Turkeys may be labeled as 'Fresh' if they have never been chilled below 26?F. Turkey meat does not freeze at 32?, but at 26?F (according to the National Turkey Federation).

Yes, but they can all be good choices. Fresh foods are usually thought to have the most nutritional value. Often, though, frozen foods can be more nutritious than fresh foods because they are often picked ripe and quickly frozen, whereas nutrients can be lost in the time between harvest and eating fresh foods. Canning is more likely to reduce the heat-sensitive and water-soluble nutrients because of the high temperatures needed in the canning process.

Yes. There are higher pregnancy rates using fresh embryos; however, there is still some discussion on this issue. The higher rates could be a function of the fact that the best quality embryos are used first. It is hard to say if the difference in rates can be attributed to the freeze/ thaw or to the quality of the embryos. We have clients come to us from all over the world. Many American couples ask this question.

So that you have the option of feeding your baby immediately or freezing the meals for later, they are delivered to you fresh, not frozen. That way, you choose what???s suitable for your family???s needs.

Our frozen fish is better than fresh! It is flash frozen at a very low temperature (-40) as soon as it is brought in to the dock. This seals in all the nutrition and fresh flavor that you may miss from the fish that took two extra days to arrive on your plate fresh. Frozen is also easy to prepare as most seafood can even be cooked frozen! See our recipe page for details.

Your meat will be delivered fresh to freeze, but if any meat has been frozen it will state within the item description

Again, the needs of our customers dictate the way we produce and ship our products. For those who prefer fresh products, we ship them refrigerated and mark the 'Use or freeze by" date. For customers who prefer to store the product frozen until they are ready to display or use it, we offer a 'calendar program' which allows them to mark the shelf life of the product at the time it is thawed.

Our crab cakes are made fresh on a daily basis. For shipping purposes, they are frozen right before they are shipped. They usually arrive frozen or partially frozen depending on the weather.

The choice is based on personal preference. With today's freezing methods, there is no significant difference in quality between a fresh turkey and a frozen one. The moisture loss is minimal. If you like to shop well in advance of cooking the meal, a frozen turkey is your best bet. Make sure the turkey is solidly frozen. By reading the label carefully, you can be sure of getting exactly what you want— stuffed, unstuffed, basted, unbasted, or smoked.

Quality dairy products, including colostrum, are never frozen because it changes the composition. This is noticeable with the look and taste of milk when you freeze and thaw it. Colostrum's effectiveness is greatly changed in this freezing/thawing process. Check to make sure your colostrum is fresh processed and never frozen. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This health product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.

OPDC will ship fresh and unfrozen raw dairy products to anyone upon request. Remember that if the delivery is delayed and the product is left un-refrigerated, it will be protected for an extended period of perhaps an additional 24 hours if it is frozen. If fresh, the product may become warm if refrigeration is delayed upon delivery.

Feel free to experiment but I can't predict how it will turn out. I do not make every possible variation of every recipe so I don't know how a lot of the possible substitutions would turn out. There are a lot of variables that go into changing a recipe. Are you subbing something sweet for something tart? You might want to cut down on the sugar. Is the dried fruit really dried out? You might need to add more liquid. You might not need to use as many dried berries as you would fresh.

The two tests used are the Prothrombin Time (PT) and the fibrinogen level. Those centers that use PT feel that the PT must be elevated more than 2 or 3 seconds above the control before FFP should be considered. Since fibrinogen is removed during TPE, other centers will follow fibrinogen levels. They feel that a fibrinogen level of less than 125 mg/dl is an indication for FFP replacement.

A combination of both fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables are used depending on the recipe and individual ingredient. Some vegetables for freezer use preserve better if they're flash frozen shortly after harvesting (like potatoes). Others work well from the fresh state. We experiment in our test kitchen with all of our recipes to find the combination of ingredients that will both taste good and freeze/thaw well.

Flash frozen products, especially baked goods, are virtually indistinguishable from fresh if properly handled during the defrosting stage. In addition, frozen products allow greater control over waste; you only thaw what you need, reserving the remainder for future use. Frozen products also give the foodservice operator greater flexibility in meeting last minute demand.

A - 'Fresh Frozen' is the term used for fish frozen within a very short time after being caught. Often fresh fish is NOT fresh as it may have sat on ice for up to a week. Our fish is frozen immediately locking in freshness and flavour. Seafood should be frozen as soon as possible after being caught. However, you can actually ruin some species of fish by freezing it too quickly (too cold) as it bursts the cells in the flesh. You can freeze it too slowly as well.

Your Crabcake mix was made fresh the day before you receive it,refrigerataed and shipped fresh, never frozen. Unless you start from scratch at home, this is the FRESHEST CRABCAKE available on line, possibly anywhere..

Recently, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration concluded that frozen fruits and vegetables are just as healthy as fresh and many even retain their nutritional value longer. That’s good news for Wild Blueberries, which freeze extraordinarily well.

At this time, we only ship fresh-frozen salmon, halibut, and sablefish (black cod). In fact, you may want to be aware that fresh-frozen fish often is fresher than most other fish labeled and marketed as "fresh." Fish marketed as "fresh" in supermarkets often spend long periods of time in transit by air and truck from distant docks to your local food market. It is common for fish sold as "fresh" at retail to be up to 10-14 days old following harvest.

Absolutely. We are careful to monitor the expiration dates of products and if anything does not have a lengthy freshness time once it gets to our customers, we will remove the item from the shelves of our warehouse and obtain fresh product.

Frozen meals are cooked and flash frozen in our state of the art Blast Freezer. Just add salad or vegetables to complete your meal.

Like the frozen meals you add your choice of salad or vegetables.

The differences are often so subtle that it takes an expert to tell. A pet might have too much white, a crooked tooth or carry its tail too high. He or she could have less than ideal angulation. Pets might lack the charisma or attitude desired of a show dog. Or it could just be that the breeder had four show puppies, with only three show homes. As long as your Beardie has a tongue to kiss with, a tail to wag and four feet to bounce on, show faults are of little consequence to the pet buyer.

Dried berries are best suited for thick, heavier batters, where use of other applications is limited. These include formulations where fresh or frozen berries may rupture. They are perfect for mini muffins or bagels. If using IQF berries, be sure to add them to the batter when they are still frozen, as this will minimize breakage of the berries.
