The National Contact Point EFSA (Department of Food Safety and Nutrition MPRV SR ) in cooperation with the European Food Safety Authority has prepared a leaflet on safe defrosting of food in the Slovak language.
The leaflet presents basic information on defrosting food, usable in every household. By reducing the mistakes that consumers make when handling frozen food incorrectly, the formation of harmful bacteria is eliminated. Proper thawing procedures reduce the risk of foodborne illness and reduce food waste.
