Frozen foods degrade during storage by different modes or processes, much like any other food. Microbes are usually no concern because, when they are exposed to extreme violence above the freezing point at frost levels, they typically cannot grow. The degradation rate and level depend on the composition and the ambient circumstances during storage and distribution. Most food products require various types of refrigeration in order to maintain quality and to extend shelf life throughout the cold chain. Freezing is a way to package food in such a way that it lasts longer before it is actually consumed.
