Summary

In France. the retail sale of quick-frozen foods is primarily a self-service facility with products being offered for sale in horizontal display cabinets or vertical cabinets in which some packages, especially those which are visible, are at a temperature higher
than -18 ° C. One of the specifications currently being employed at international level is that the temperature of the warmest package is accepted as -12°C and this is in contradiction with the specifications of international and French regulations. Methods are presented by which it is possible, without increasing the energy consumption, to lower the temperature of the warmest package by 4 to 8°C. The desirability of modifying the standard test conditions is discussed.
