Storing Creative Gourmet frozen berries and fruits Store frozen berries and fruit in your freezer as soon as possible after purchasing to prevent them from defrosting. In hot weather, it’s best to transport frozen berries and fruits in a chiller bag so it stays as cold as possible. Store Creative Gourmet frozen berries and fruits in the resealable bag, within the box, in your freezer. To keep them in top condition and prevent them from becoming icy, do not place on the door in the freezer. Instead, store in the main freezer compartment where it is the coldest. Once frozen berries and fruit are defrosted do not refreeze them (as they will not have the same juiciness and texture). Creative Gourmet frozen fruits have a long shelf-life when stored correctly in your freezer. Check the box for the Use-By date.
